I was going to make one out of FG too with custom ducting from fan out of car and vacc vents to pull engin bay air out but I got thinking rocks and other things that you scrape on rode will brake it sooo not to good. Alum will just dent.

this has to be a joke

if you attach those batteries straight to the car's electrical system instead of running that motor, you will have much more useable power

the point is, running that motor uses far more power than what that motor is creating through the alternator
