Airbox Mod Seems to have made a difference..
I cut a 4 1/4" hole in the bottom of my airbox. Why 4 1/4? Cause that's the biggest hole saw I own.
It really feels as though the engine runs better with a little more getup on acceleration. I must say this is the first mod I've done where I felt a difference.

Why couldn't you duct it up to the area under the wipers? Wouldn't that be like the Scotty? I imagine that some home depot parts would work. Maybe cut the hole in the back instead of the bottom.

That would work to. Sorry, I was in gasser mode for a minute and they all like to pull their cold air from the front bumper and fender. Creates more of a ram air effect.
Maybe at speeds over 70.

Just cut a 4" hole in the bottom of the air box, and attach a piece of 4" PVC to it with a 90* elbow on it. That's about all there is to it. Do a search on air box mod and see what that turns up.

Thanks guys I needed a mod on the cheap. I took the boot between the airbox and fenderwell off and It may be my imagination but I seem to have about 2 psi difference at 60mph. I ordered a pack of 6 1"dia airbox vents for a mortorcycle, I saw the idea in an earlier thread. I am going to go to the hardware store tonight to find the piping I need to duct up to the windshield from a 4" hole in the bottom.
I just had a thought, I can point my windshield washer into it and when I need more power I can just hit the lever
