a) have you drove with and without that substack? i always wondered if they helped.

b) that pic of the yellow car, on the right side tube is that a turbinator on that thing?!?!?! LMFAO if it is!

How much are you honestly looking to gain from a setup like that?

It makes the engine bay look very cluttered and for what I would have to believe are very minimal gains. If any at all.

I learned alot of my stuff from imports, where every little mod can make a huge difference. I bet if u practiced driving the time u'd be hooking up one of those, u could be faster in the end. It would help, of course, but when u've got a v8, that little difference prolly wont be noticable enough.

i would think if a mod is worth a couple HP on a weenie rice motor and we have at 2-3 times the displacement we should get 2-3 times the HP gain.... right?

CAI on a ricer is an average of 6WHP gains.

I think it would look cool if you made a housing and then ran a wide snorkel up to the cowl, coupled with a cowl induction hood. Kinda hard to explain so hopefully you all understand...
