New cold air intake. Worth taking a look at.
New cold air intake. Worth taking a look at.
If you run it down and to the side and back around to in front of the air duct (thing that catches air for the radiator) and put a cone filter there it would work really good I think. Alot of turbo guys use this. So why not us? I think it would work very nicely. Im going to look into it soon. Tell me what ya think.

This was my first design. Not only didn't I feel an improvement, but the radiator temp skyrocketed. I expected the temps to be a big higher, but the car got up to 230 faster than I ever saw.
I moved the conical into the area below the passenger side battery tray, and that's when I felt an improvement. As a bonus, I can "rig" the side of the air dam to fold down, and act as a scoop. This is the part of the air dam that "covers" the bottom front of the fenders.
