What High School!? I don't think they teach much on Internal Combustion
Engine dynamics in high school. Cool air rules for an engine. I'll use
the overused and stupid phrase of 'well if it works so well why don't the
manufactures do it'. They all go to a lot of trouble to route tubing to
the front of the vehicle to get that cool air.

Excuse me but if a throttle body or carb is rated for 650cfm then all the
air cleaners in the freakin world aren't going to increase this past
650cfm. Only a turbo or supercharger forcing air through will increase
past that mark.
