Airbox modification 200 88

posted by  someone claiming to be Marc S. on  Thu Jul 5 13:46 CST 2001 [RELATED]

painted my airbox for fun the other day, took out the entire assembly which selects hot and cold air, it was stuck on hot, and living in south florida i cant see any benefits to keeping it...

i havent noticed any power gain, which i wouldnt expect to, but i was wondering if i should cut the snorkel in front of the radiator down, or angled it forward, maybe even a little airscoop?

would this give me an extra 1 horse? also, is this common? or even sometimes done? i dont want to do it for absolutely no reason, but if anyone thinks itll help the engine breathe easier i might as well, thanks everyone!
