I have information about inlet ducts but it's all in storage. Some is
in published books and some is from the NACA Technical Report Server,
http://naca.larc.nasa.gov/.

What happens to the pressure when the driver closes the throttle at the
end of a run or during a shift?

I would use a GM 1 BAR MAP sensor because it doesn't need a pressure
reference source. I'm sure it's compatible with RacePak, it's 0-5 VDC.

Low AND high pressure areas can occur in very unlikely locations. Several
assumptions I have made in the past were proven completely wrong.
I've added air flow to my "never assume" list (a very, very long list).

I'm glad you started this thread Tom, I know very little about air scoops.
