Well here is my idea I was wondering if I took the best electric fan with the highest CFM that would fit into my fog light opening and rig it to some ducting all the way to my filter if it would do anything at all as far as throwing as much cold air as possible up into the filter. The reason i came up with this is because the F50 Ferrari has two fans under the openings in its hood the sucks air downward to help keep the car on the ground and apparently it works. I was wondering if a similar set up but set up to blow air into the cone would net any gains? probably not but just a cool idea.

Air traveling into the engine is moving at almost the speed of sound. If you can find an electric fan that can move air faster I doubt it would fit in a fog light hole.

lol I think that is why they USED to be on the market. I used to see stuff like that all the time and then the spacers that made the air "spin" I don't remember what they where called though.
