[s-cars] Cold Air Intake

[Mark Strangways]

There was an article done by autospeed (I think that was the name of the 
online magazine) that tested the stock air box. It's found to be very good 
indeed.

I run a BIG turbo, and can produce in the 450 HP range (corrected to SAE, 
sorta) and run the stock air box. I was very hesitant to remove it for a 
cone type.

I have not found that it has produced much airflow resistance, at least it 
has not been a limiting factor. Maybe a cone with some ducted cold air would 
produce some more HP. At this point I don't want anymore. For now...
