natural cooled air intake

[1988_5spd_lxi]

to day is a very cooled day in
New York. it is 22f outside.
i jusy co 10hp to the wheel:super:
i can feel the diff.
did you ever had that happen to you?:smokin:

[mugenprelude86]

when you think it is 10 hp difference it is actally maybe 2. but yes try driving around with no hood at this temp... whenever i went to the night drags i ran no hood, no intake, open TB, huge poower

that is ghettoooooo

i would think that the power you would gain with an open hood you would loose in wind drag.

but i could see why you wouldnt. becasue at speeds 0-50 [the better part of a race] you dont have that high of a drag coefficent cause you arnt going that fast. you just need power quick to get off the line and down as fast as possible

see what if you had a switch and ur hood slid open and then when you reached high speeds..you could have the hood slide back on...you know...that would be cool..

Man it was cold out, and I put a whole bunch of stickers on my car and I could feel a huge difference in HP!!!!

You can mod the hood to tip up a bit on the windshield side. I have seen it done to many civics and rexes. It's nothing new.
