Exactly. My point was to open up the air intake to allow the maximum air
the engine can flow without loosing the cool air feature. K&N or Stage I
makes a beauty for the Mustang with a new air box and dual snorkels vented
from the grill area. I would think this would be the optimum setup for
street and light track stuff but you have to have the room under the hood.
Someone mentioned excess noise from cowl induction. It reminds me of my 76
MGB which got boring with the 4 banger in it. I tore it out when the
clutch went and put a 327 with Powerslide. The only thing showing through
the hood was about 1/2" of velocity stack type air filter so I put a cowl
induction scoop on it. Did that thing make a noise when I opened it up!!!
The center windshield wiper started dancing like it was about to tear off.
I REALLY miss that car. Never had so much fun in my life. There was
nothing in or around town that could touch me and the whole setup cost me
about $500.00 including engine/tranny, mounts, driveshaft and Rad!
