does it work and is it worth doing, will it cause too much air going into the intake....

NO such thing as too much. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Having the proper design is important as turbulance will effect high rpm performance.

Providing cooler air to the box is good but is seems that some have found that altering the box internally or removing the fenderwell horn actually hurt performance. I have found that high rpm flow must have some kind of "directed" air to produce the best flow / delivery volume. I did the filter/no-filter dyno test and chnged the runner tube length. I found which combo created the best DYNO HP and seemingly least restrictive flow.

Some have made some pretty extensive ram air systems on this board. I am working on a new design to eliminate sucking some of that heat soaked engine compartment air. I should have something to show when the new motor drops in.

what about Y2K Silverado's set up, do you think that works good, i know it is a 4x4 and mine is a 2x4, i am looking for more speed power in the future.
i guess what i want to know is, well is it worth doing the mod

 

who all has this setup

 

I'm using it as well and got good results from doing it. I put my ac register over the fog light hole which gave my 4" aluminum tube a straight shot up to the bottom of the air box. It only cost me like $20 and some time. The worst part was cutting the hole through the steel plate under the stock air box.

 

where did yall get the parts, i went looking today and i couldnt find any of the pieces that the air goes into from the bottom, the piece that the 4" pipe connects to, all i could find is 6" pieces...if anyone can tell me where to go to find this. thanks for any replys
