fsstnotch First off, how are you doing?? Staying out of harms way. There is not alot of room under the hood for air filters, some have only 3" till they hit the hood, other have alot more room due to how low the motor seats between the frame rails. Has far as look, it's cool. Has far as power added to motor, NOT. You don't want hot air being sucked into the motor,it had enought heat. I want out side air, either from the hood scoop or the base of the windshield. bottom scoops in the front of the car also add heat to the motor if it's a hot day and the air is heated from the tar and sucked into the intake no winner here. That piping will also heatup from being under the hood and cause the same problem of a hot inlet charge of air. I was putting F1 packages on F-body cars in mid 90's and the cars went .2 slower than if the stock stuff was left on. The computors needed to be customized for the package but where none. The car where running way too lean.
Stay well and watch your butt,see you soon. Rick L.
