OK Doc tell me what you like or don't like.
The air intake can be an oval an ellipse or a circle
or almost anything. Smiley face perhaps?
You can mark these up in MS Paint save them as a jpg
and send them back.

Looks great!
Just a few questions. What about induction air? And cooling air for
accessories and exhaust system? I assume there would be separate inlets for
those?
How would you fab a smiley? :-) The oval looks good. Glad the shark's mouth
is gone.
Doc
You would optimally use a ram air scoop for engine induction
combustion air. Any well placed small NACA duct would add a little
under the cowl cooling air. The main scoop shown should be sealed to
the heat exchangers.
You can also have a P40 type scoop if you wish?
If you don't like this ram air scoop... looks like there is
enough room to come straight forward on the top front slope
of the cowl for a ramp scoop. Not a NACA as they are not
suited for carb ram air.

Here are the section stations. It is kind of tricky
blowing these up to full size. You might need a big plotter.
I can get it done if all else fails. I have a friend
with a big plotter. It will cost for paper and plotter time.

First jpg is of the method my SZP hangar neighbors Steve and John
used to build the Nemesis Nxt fuse buck.
Another SZP hangar neighbor Jim Wright is going 400 MPH in
his Nemesis Nxt. He repaired it after a crash and enlarged
the tail to get the stability up to acceptable levels :)
Several have crashed for various reasons. Most for
landing gear failure.
We will see how well he does at this years Reno races
Sunday, 13 - 17 September 2006.
He has a Lycoming with dual turbos inter coolers and
perhaps ADI.
Yet another racer on my taxi way is Vicki Carr.
She will be racing her Glassair III with Klaus Savier
as her mechanic. Klaus will not be racing his Variez
this year.
