hense why i tell people just to make a short ram when they are n/a or lightly modded. get it kinda near the fender and drop the temps a few degrees for fun. you dont need the flow characteristics with those setups.

If you re-read what I said I NEVER said that it took away horsepower. Like Bio stated it actually increases horsepower slightly over a stock airbox. I said that I'm going with a short ram air because of the benefits of increased gas mileage. A couple extra hp is great but that's not what I'm concerned about.Originally Posted by L36pro
I do have another question though. Is the PCM going to be safe just sitting there? I've read that yes it will be but living in upstate NY there's a lot of snow and rain. If it gets wet at all or somewhat exposed to the elements will it damage it over time especially to the wires? Should I come up with a way to protect it?

i live in wisconsin, mine had just as bad as conditions as you had. it was fine, it's weatherproof.

im pretty sure theres a nice little oring in there to keep water out

My PCM is just laying there, and I had to drive through over 2 1/2ft of water when the hurricane came in, Im sure it got submerged. But almost 3 years later and still pullin.

just had a strange thought I have a functioning GTX hood the air box is an open top so the air just dumps in there would I gain anything by scrapping the box altogether?

No, not really.
If anything, gut the front of the box for more flow.
Get a high flowing panel element filter.
Replace the corrugated tubing between the airbox and the filter.
That's it.

So lose my cone filter?

If you already have a cone intake set up, just keep it.

I made my FWI for the cost of a low profile Spectre cone filter, plus a coupler, a roof baffle, and some PVC which I painted black, and can be found at home Depot. Took about an 1:30 to install because I'm a perfectionist. Has a nice roar at WOT and gave me a bit more throttle response/mpg.
Just take off your wheel well/splash guard and seal it up before you do it, it barely gets water in it stock. I live in PA, I understand deep puddles :P
