Intake tube location

[MikeP99Z]

Okay, now to put this on spin cycle...

What if Eddie built a box around the air filter and ran a hose from the box to a NACA duct in the 1/4 window? Therefore, the air intake would be from outside the car... legal??

The reason I bring this up is I was thinking of the same thing to try and get the air filter drawing some cold air and not subject to all the engine bay "crap"...

The whole thing is still in the cockpit...

Sam. That's what happened to my old stock intake. :lol:

But that was nitrous. Besides, I think if there was any kind of mishap with the force needed to send debris through the air filter, on 5.0 and 4.6 intakes, it would blow the pipe off of the throttle body instead.

Marshall - Let me put my motor in the passenger seat and build a box around it. As long as the dashboard clears it, it should be legal. :shock: :P

Putting it like that makes it seem like it's an issue of fairness due to weight transfer, not really safety. I drove a Bradley Fighting Vehicle for a year. It has a 903ci tubo diesel six inches to the right of the driver separated by removable 1/8th" aluminum panels.

I'm just trying to get some honest, straight forward feedback on the pros and cons of putting the filter in the cockpit.

That looks like the dyno at SpeedTek.

just joking.

The Bradley sounds like a cool vehicle.

Also, you guys drive Fords, so anything is possible within the ruleset. 8)

Mike,
If you can make it happen, I will close a blind eye. 8)

If you are blind, why would you need to close your eyes? :?
