Default Ram Air Idea

What do you think is better? I am currently using an air filter from the K&N FIPK kit in conjunction with my S/C with a ram air type setup. I think I may be loosong out on cool air. I dont have a shorw around the air filter from the FIPK kit, I doesnt fit with the s/c. I am contemplating getting a new holley stock drop in filter and using the stock air box(modified of course). I am planning on sealing the stock air box holes and cutting a large square hole in the bottom of the box and forming a fiberglas ram air tube and bringing it down to the hole in the lower airdam on the non foglight plastic lower air damn. It would get nothing but cool air, and the hot air would from the motor wouldnt get into the intake before it was heated to 160' from the roots blower. What do you think?????

If you can use the factory airbox with your SC, I would and ram-air it!
