You don't flow enough to justify upgrading the MAF, unless your FI and pushing it...

Im not a enginer but it seems to me that if the air is befing forced in from the bottom scoup, up the tube into the bottom of the air box, its just going to blow out the big freaking hole in the side. You know the one thats on the inner finder where box breaths... I cant tell any difference at all with or with out the scoup on mine. Well other than its loud in with out it and quite with it.

The scoup also fills up with water when it rain

You are correct.........the truck will only what it needs at any rpm or throttle position. If you're @ WOT and air is being bforced into the box(but the truck only uses a certain amount), the excess is being forced through the fire wall. The ram-air will only work if you can block it off...........thats why they call it RAM-AIR....hehehehe. You need to block it off somehow. That's what I did. The water issue, I take my block off plate and just used a sewer cap so I can screw or unscrew it in when it rains. I have heard of some people getting water on there maf's before going on long trips.
