Cold Air Intake for Carb'd 85
I'm looking for a way to get some cooler air into my carb in my 85 GT. Would be nice if it were some type of Ram Air setup. I have very limited hood clearance and intend to stay with the stock hood. I am currently using a 14" Ford Racing open air cleaner with K&N filter and I feel the carb needs more air. Does anyone know of a company that makes a cold air setup for a carb'd car? Or, has anyone come up with some unique way of getting more (cooler) air into the carb?

Look in Summit Racing I think they have one, but I really doubt you see much of a gain from it, maybe 1 hp. That open element air filter will flow enough air to support well over 500hp.
