No power, but my goal was to keep intake temps at bay, which seems to be happening, but will confirm at the track next week.
Initial testing; ambient temps right at 80f, and intake temps never went above 91f driving, and stayed at about 89 degrees on throttle. This is about on par if not better than what I was seeing for N/A temps so that is good.
here is a list of parts I have bought for this little project:

Also I should note that my front area is boxed in (flat bottom not seen as it is attached to the bumper). There is a space between the front bumper and the top aluminum part that creates a low pressure zone (in theory) for the intake air.
