Question

I dont understand this "cool" air bit from the fender intake. Where is it taking the air in from exactly. I know that when I'm autocrossing, I've seen tire temps of around 350 degrees. IF that's considered cold air induction, I'd hate to see the engine temps <grin>

Nathan, Have you ever tried nitrogen in your tires? It is an inert gas and the pressure will not fluctuate between hot and cold tempertures. All the CHP's use them in there cruisers.
