ABSTRACT:
A forced air induction system (10) constructed in accordance with the principles of a preferred embodiment of the present invention and configured for supplying compressed induction fluid to an internal combustion engine (E) for powering a vehicle (V) is disclosed. The illustrated forced air induction system (10) broadly includes a blower (12) for compressing induction fluid for the engine (E) and an improved carburetor hat (14) in communication with the blower (12) for delivering the compressed induction fluid to the carburetor (C). The illustrated blower (12) is a centrifugal supercharger. The illustrated carburetor hat (14) defines a neck section (26), a throat section (28), and an internal chamber (30) disposed between the neck and throat sections (26,28). The improved carburetor hat (14) is configured to prevent, or at least greatly reduce, the occurrence of thrust and stack up of induction fluid within the chamber (30) and in this regard includes an air-diffuser vane (36) disposed within the chamber (30) so that induction fluid flowing from the inlet (32) must travel around the vane (36) to reach the outlet (34).
