Paul,
Got the P Port mockup engine installed and mocked up the slide throttle
and headers.  I think I can get the same length described in the NACA
report for rectangular augmenter by putting it on top.  The intake
runners will run down to the wing root area in back of the spar far away
from the exhaust.  I can use a small armpit scoop or a NACA for engine
charge air.  The headers are mocked up with PVC pipe 2" ID so they will
be a lot smaller in dia.  I want to put a heat shield around it and
plumb it up to the augmenter and put the opening in the bottom toward
the rear to get airflow around the headers.  The last picture is a 3" X
10" furnace duct that will be shorter to clear the prop circle and will
flare out in the front to confor to the inner shape of the upper cowl.
The whole cowl will be sealed.
