I mean, it would be blowing cold air (like 40*F) into the system, right?

Think of this: You have the A/C on and the fan at blower position '1' on your dash. Then with the fresh air lever all the way to 'fresh', you drive 80MPH on the freeway. The ram-air effect of the wind being blown into the vent below the windsheild forces more cold air into the cabin than if you were idling in traffic, regardless of blower motor speed. Right?

Clutch slipping... no clutch pedal here.
It's not about power, but torque. According to the GST dyno... I have way more torque than hp.
Only on low boost. No boost here.
It's too hot for a turbo. What is a turbo?
BOV leak. No BOV here either.

Hahahaha.

I appreciate the offer. Not really looking for gauges until after the swap... if it ever happens. Currently doing research on suspension and chassis stiffening items.
