Obviously, OzHemi made a little compartment where he can suck in fresh cool air. I was just wondering what difference in performance wise will this give a car? Also, is it possible to have too much cool air? Type of air filter: 6614979-1301423783847-70055660.jpeg (63 downloads)

Yeah, exactly! So does the engine pull out more power with the cool air you are getting from the air funnel?

I knew I wanted to do it from the onset basically, of getting cooler air into the engine...just didn't know for sure how I was going to do it until I actually made up the template for the box I can watch the IAT with my handheld OBDII tool, and would be interesting I guess to compare to a car with just a 'normal' underhood air filter.

This will result in more power. I know that there is a temperature to horsepower gain, but dont remember what it was. Its like every 10* drop, you gain 1% horsepower. Maybe that wsa for turbo cars, but either way, you will gain power.

It's kind of hard when no one will reply to this thread Do you think it gives you more power? I was thinking, if I ever get to doing a 6.1L swap if I could do a similar thing with my Dart but separate it into two different air filter boxes. This was the kind of air intake modified from a LS air intake: 6616262-DSCN0466.JPG (35 downloads)

Of course it would be a tight squeeze and I would have to relocate the battery to the trunk. And hopefully the aftermarket radiator won't be too big. I was also thinking of a HEMI scoop as well.
