I understand what we are trying to achieve with this thread but I am stuck on the SLIC and like the stock look more. I remember talking to Jason Cramer and he said it would be very hard to improve on the Precision unit.Please post a picture if you can find it. Here's what mine looks like. It's a one off.

If cost wasn't a factor there's plenty that could be done to improve on the common slic designs
Well I freakin love it, where is that at
Did you design that shroud? Looks like it will get airflow to the whole cooler, that's another problem with the precision shroud that I noticed, most of the airflow is going to go to the middle third and down, not much to upper.The way its designed with that first angle its going to work like the short side turn on a valve, the majority of flow when the velocity starts getting up there in the port will start overshooting short turn and mainly run the long side. That's the same problem with that first sharp turn and then the second turn is an engineering term known as vena contracta which basically means that when the air that is trying to make that turn at higher velocities it cant do it [just like the short side radius on the valve] and it will actually start building a wall and pinching the airflow off, anyway looks like a good design, what is it made of and where did you get the actuator?
Sorry didn't get in on beginning of this thread but I like it.Your shroud looks different than mine, mine has about a 80 degree sharp turn on short side and then another turn about 6 inches up from that, definitely squeezing off airflow to top half of cooler.Cooler might be efficient, but someone should have done their homework on the airflow to unit.Did you fab up the trapdoor also and rivet hinge to it, or buy that part?
The core is scheduled for delivery today so I hope to post up some pictures tonight. I'm hoping I can get my welder to start working on it this weekend.
