Better horsepower...No

Worse horsepower...yes.

Theoritically, If the tube was in place and pushing cold air into the carb, HP increases.  Warm air from engine compartment equals < HP.

this is just my opinion, of course, i have no dyno tests to confirm this.

I don't think you will notice any difference either way.

Some would say inverting the top (lid) of the air cleaner and tightening it down upside down will increase power...again, i dont think it will be much...sounds awesome that way though.

Others may have opinions.

I agree, don't think you will notice a diference. I also agree that colder air is better. Cold air is denser therefore more air in the same amount of space.

What i like to do with the old trucks is take the lil part at the end of the hose and cut it off ...so it makes a ram air...all it does is pop out at the front clip .....put just dont go slaming the truck into water or mud
