A/C Mod

Would there be any beniffit to running an A/C duct from in the car to my TBI? Would the cooler air help the fuel burn and make more horsepower? Is this just plain stupid? Be honest. Just a thought.

You'd gain more power by just turning the A/C off. The tiny amount of power you would gain would not come anywhere near making up for the load created by the compressor.
