i was thinking about getting that for my 85 c10. i was thinkin i would get all this air when going down the highway and even the city with this thing. then im like with my square front end wouldnt this push all of the air up and over it or would it actually work good??? suggestions, pros and cons are accepted... thanks

Where you going to cut it through the hood?? If you want a ramair type set up you could easily modify a TBI air intake to do just about the same thing that you are proposing without cutting up the hood.

yea i was going to cut it a hole in the hood.. ive seen it done and i thought it was cool... i already have a modifided intake... i got the stock box but it has two tubes going into it... it looks really good... and then the plastic connectors were cut out and mesh was put in it.. its a good system... but i like the air filter going through the hood... it would be kinda like a shaker hood... but yet not...

If you think that looks cool sticking thru your hood, then go for it!!
I hope you live in the desert so rain won't come in.

Shins, did you ever get thay stack? You know, it seems like it would suck in a bunch of air, sticking up there, but I wonder if it would actually improve the performance that much. And here's what I mean- your engine is engineered for optimum performance (stock) at something like a 14 to 1 air/fuel ratio. When we do things that change that ratio, the engine doesn't like it and compensates by running bad. Looks like you might have to make other changes to keep up with the new air volume... now for a diesel engine, a lot of intake air is a real good thing.
