The person behind both the Eaton Supercharger kit and the NACA duct is
Norm Garrett. The NACA was developed and produced by Vantage Motorsport.    
I thought Norm would include it with the kit, which was originally priced
at $2500, but in the interest of keeping the price down and offering the
duct as an add-on item, they are sold separately. THe duct is by no mean
necessary, but it is recomended. Like I said, there maybe a symmetrical
duct on the passenger side coming just for people who like symmetry.

This kit has also driven the BBR turbo kit down to $2.5K, along with the
favorable exchange rate. I may be getting the supercharger kit soon for a
different project. I am curious to find out how it stacks up to my BBR car.

    I asked him about the naca ducted headlight cover and he acknowledged
    that people are making them, and that getting one would be a "good
    thing" for use with the 'charger, but that it's not included with
    the 'charger kit.
    
    I guess I misunderstood the email going around - wasn't the naca duct
    included with the kit?  Or is this a different supercharger kit?  Any 
    thoughts are appreciated, at $1950 this seems like a pretty killer
    deal (0-60 in 6.8, 30mpg hwy hooo - ahhh! - my best Pacino in 
    "Scent of a Woman").
