[Ice] Cold Air Intake
I just thought of this the other day...since countless people believe in cold air intakes
say if you re-routed the A/C fins for your cabin to pass through the intake manifold first...then you can probably lower the temperature of the air in there by 30 degrees...
just an idea. but somebody tell me if this could work or not

Not sure if you're serious...

You're better off building a "pocket" for dry ice to sit in the intake tubing pre-MAF. This is going to lean you out, perhaps too much for the ecm to compensate. Nevertheless, I wouldn't reccomend it.
The use of the A/C is redundant because it draws power from the engine to turn the compressor. So....no, it's not worth it.
Even still, the gain is going to be so small, and vary greatly.

That'll burn real good.How about running the starter motor full time for extra hp? The extra power will produce extra electricity from the alternator, which will produce extra current for the starter motor, which will produce more electricity which will produce more power ==> lightspeed with a billion mpgs!
AC to cool intake air to get more hp makes just as much sense.

When I was NA my butt dyno did say +1 for cold air ... but thats the butt lol
Dry ice in the intake tubing? CO2 injection? That'll burn real good.

No silly not in the Air Intake around the tubing ... I know you know this now stop it
And I was staying on the down low for the Starter Mod .. thanks for raining on my parade

Sorry to spoil your secret project, but I think pointing all the stereo speakers backwards will be a more effective "boost".
I really shouldn't be making fun, but most of the last effective original ideas to improve the IC engine probably were had before 1950. Many had to wait for better electonics, materials, and manufacturing methods to implement, others remain, but none so far violate the laws of thermodynamics.
Fiddling can be fun though. Good examples are found on ecomodder.com

You know that a horse actually has around 15horsepower right?
