You do get a hp increase in the winter time but just not as much as with a
separate evaporator with a fan on it. You get what the engine sucks in
through the intake but you don't provide any more than that.

Why can't you just run one of the ducts thru the firewall. How come you
don't get that kind of HP increase driving in the winter?
