totally agree, also depends if you have a camaro or a Ws6... the ws6 draws air from the hood more and the camaro draws more from the bottom

now I wouldn't mind cleaning the K&N filter alittle more often, but I hate heat soak. It's bad for the engine, and it's bad for power. I also live in Miami where I get some ofthe worst traffic ever during some of the hottest days ever. Couple that with heat soak all the time and my engine won't be lasting the 130,000 miles that I need it to.
