intake

If anyone has any ideas i will take them. My goal is to get cold air to enter through the front of the car into my air intake as opposed to the way it does now. I have a 305TBI engine and the intake is composed of a couple of plastic tubes that bassically mount to the top front of the engine bay. I notice when i close the hood that there isnt much air getting through here and it is probably sucking in hotter less dense air. I am thinking if i can get the intake maybe piped down under the car so that the intake draws in colder more dense air i can inprove power and economy. Any ideas on if this will be good or is it going to give to much air and cause my engine to run way lean

Do some searches on the engine forum. Many say your setup is very good as is.

Re: intake

okay i will take a look alot of people say the single set up is garbage and the dual set up is way better ( sorry when i said couple i meant total peices not air intakes) the setup is with the one intake to the drivers side of the engine bay but thanks for the advice
