I don't think it is, There's such a huge empty space right underneath the filter. I can't imagine the air being any colder in the fender then right where Kayotyc's is.

I'm not the best at explaing this, it took me quite a while to understand myself. When the piston is on the "intake" stroke the area of low pressure inside the cylinder is filled by the higher pressure outside the engine. So the volume of air in the cylinder will only reach the level of atmospheric pressure (14 some odd PSI). That's why Turbos add power, they pump air into the engine at greater pressures (so more air) so that you can add more fuel. Without the turbo (or supercharger, or whatever type pump) the only way to bring in more air (so you can burn more fuel) is to revv higher so that your acutaly moving more air in the same amount of time, or to increase the displacement of the engine so that it takes more air. So basicly no, the engine will not injest to much air without it being forced in. Also, as long as you can match it with fuel you can never get to much air in the engineJamesBaumann said:Is it possible to flood your motor with too much air? For example, if you ran a cold air setup underneath your bumper, and also ran some piping from your intake to an opening in a hood scoop, would your motor be sucking in way too much air for it's own good? If not, and simply the more air the better, it could be something to think about.
