Cool TRUE Cold Air Intake

As usual the cheapskate in me took over, that and I'm a poor working
stiff!! Ben had an Air Raid, so called cold air intake for a non
turbo. It's metal, FULL of gaps and it's not insulated!! Sooo, I
used it as a template for a REAL cold air intake and it works with
my hood scoop OR the conventional fender vent. It's made from 1/4 "
Plexiglas, conforms to the shape of the hood and fender sides,
almost a perfect seal, I used a radiator hose that was the right
shape and insulated the hose and the box with thin foam and aluminum
insulation. The temp difference between the box and just outside is
approximately 75 degrees!!! Needless to say the performance boost is
significant!! AND I reworked the hood scoop and insulation so it
works perfectly with the cold air intake. Note the blue insulation,
brake paint!! Also It took a BUNCH of tries but I finally got the
pattern right for the battery cover!! Go to my photo album and see
Prototype to finish, backwards. Tomorrow I do hood struts and
finish the hoses!!!!
