Cold air source?

Anyone picking up cold air from under the "pass side battery tray?"

Thinking of putting a 4“ pass-through and mounting the air filter down there. May put a small airdam too.

Any thoughts on water?

Thanks again

Re: Cold air source?

That is where I am pulling air from at the track only. But, I am using the side with the carbon canister instead of under the actual battery tray.

I have tubing running from the fog-light opening up through the tray to the intake with no filter for the track only. On the street, I disconnect the pipe right at the tray and put a cone filter on it.

It's not pretty, but in back to back tests at the track I picked up almost 2mph and .15 or so with/without.
