It appears to be a NACA duct, it's just not properly implemented as per the text book definition.

Do you even know what a NACA duct is? That's like saying a sphere is not properly implemented because it is a cube.

How many degrees is this lowering on track temp's?

The duct they mounted in the front bumper appears to have the shape of a NACA duct. My point was that duct was not installed in a way to make it functional which is typically flush mounted much differently than this.

You are instigating, if you have a point make it along with detailed information of what you are getting at.

NACA ducts are designed to be a low-drag inlet to take in air from a surface. They have a specific shape and mounting location, of which this has neither.

My point is that this isn't a NACA duct, as cool as it may be to call it one.

I'm getting tired of neato-sounding descriptions on parts that are wrong.

Technically Dimman is correct.
This is a NACA Duct:

What we're using is typically referred to as a "bumper duct"

Now that is a proper explanation that can be discussed.
The only thing I am saying is he may actually be using a NACA duct in the front. You just can't tell from these pictures.

I agree with you, a NACA duct is not the type of inlet to be used for the application if you want to move air from this location to the brakes. But I we are arguing semantics. It's a prototype brake cooling duct. So for the final version he can use a different inlet duct, drop the term NACA and everyone is happy if it works and is affordable.

I don't think the name NACA duct is "neato" and will not be a determining factor for anyone that is interested in this kit.
Initially - we had few NACA ducts laying around that we were playing with off of one of the race cars - hence I used that term. My fault.

Don't see this item on your site? Am I missing it?

It's warm here and I will be heading to the Sebring on April 13
