worth while idea?
Dozing off one day, I had a crazy idea I thought i'd share.
Create a custom radiator fan shroud (electric fans only btw) that pipes the air through an intercooler and into your TB or carb. Kinda like a poor mans blower lol! Certianly, the intake would have enough air at all times
Just an idea...

Someday when you do the math on how much fan you'd need to generate 700+ CFM of air, and the amperage it takes to move that much air, you'll feel kinda silly.

Makes no sense then intercooler will not cool the air more then the ambient temperature. It will be better and easier to just build a custom cold air induction setup.

Or the electric superchargers you can buy on ebay, or better yet, the pocket NOS lol!
