O.K. Gents,

    I will be the first to admit that l am far from mechanically inclined. I
currently have the FABM mod on my truck. However, l was thinking, if you left
the factory setup like it was (just add a K&N filter to the stock box), but
replaced the horn that ran to the fender with a flexible piece of tubing (l
have no idea what kind, maybe dryer hose or something) and ran it through the
"black mat material" on the front of the engine compartment right next to the
radiator, wouldn't that work like a ram air system? It might not be a huge
improvement, but every little bit helps. At least that way you would be
getting a gulp of cold air. Let me know if anyone has already done this, or
if anyone thinks this is the dumbest idea they have ever heard of.
