Snwy! I was just kidding. Put your K&N filter on one end of that intercooler and pipe your AFM to the other end. It'll still cool the air for your NA engine. You'lll get 3.8hp from the colder air at 6,800rpm!

^^^ How do you cool ambient air cooler than ambient air with an intercooler? I think you forgot to mention the alky injection there.

What is needed is a spray bar in front of that "Cooler" and a switch under the throttle pedal so that when the car is floored it sprays the "Cooler" with water that has been stored in a special tank with a windshield washer bottle pump...come on guys, am I the only motorhead here??? Or am I redneck?

The ambient air accross the aluminum will make it colder. Its the wind chill factor!

plus you have the look of a turbo engine with that big intercooler haning out front. Its worth it just for that alone!

Then all you'd need is one of those little blow-off valve sounding thingys back by the muffler and you'd be complete.

Why don't you get going on the install then just install the pump later?
