So yesterday I tried an idea. I got aluminum rain gutter parts and tried to make a 90 degree air channel that would come from the lower radiator area and aim it at my air filter. But it didnt work out like I wanted. I have my ABS block, upper radiator hose and A/C lines that get in the way.

I did however block off a big fender hole that lets in cool outside air and I took of the K&N provided shield that insulates the filter from hot air. So now its an open filter that will suck under hood heat. Plus I sealed the gaps around the passenger headlight so that the hood doesnt scoop cool air onto the filter.

The testing grounds is a 158mile down and back from Nashville to the Alabama state line. All highway and close to 2.5 hours of driving. I got 32mpg Friday when I made the trip so if these mods are worth anything ill hope to see it Monday when I make the same trip.

BTW, my intake temp Friday when making that trip was 75 degrees with 185 coolant temps. Ill note the modified intake temp.

Oh, I also took my passenger mirror off. So Mondays testing will have to consider that too.
