Seems like it's just gonna sit there sucking up all the hot air under the hood. I'd do a CAI like FTRA, SSRA, SLP ect...

Yea, those will definitely suck in more hot air. A good lid setup with a CAI like TheBlueKnight said, will have better results.

FTRA, SSRA and SLP Flopac are cold air intakes or "scoops." SLP also makes a lid but it comes with the Flopac. There is also the Chrs1313 CAI you could look at.

Going from your username, is this for a motor swap into a fox body? Or is it for an f-body?

If it's for an f-body then you definitely want a lid/ram air scoop setup. If it's a fox body swap then you may have to fab something up, I'm not sure if the mustang swap guys can use our lid setups, since I'm not familiar with ls-swapped stangs.

Unless you're running without a hood though, the open cone filter is just going to suck up hot air.

Yea I sold my turbo fox and got a heads cam fbody and went faster lol. But thanks for the replys guess I will scratch the cone filter idea and look into a lid. Im going to a fast 102 setup so I was looking at the fast toys 104mm lid. That's the only reason im looking for different options cause I don't want to run the slp lid with a 102 tb

Plus you would have to fit your mass air flow sensor between the tbody and filter. Unless your tuned MAP only.

Fipk will pull just as much hot air as your original filter idea. There is a reason hardly nobody runs them except the people that aren't on this board and only read magazines.

Yeah the cone filters aren't that great, I'm stuck using one for the time being. It was 106* here the other day and my IATs were 126-128*. Slaughters performance.
