Does nothing. Why do as everyone does and not be a little different?? I think it looks good my self but I probably would not do it on a daily driver.

i guess it would depend on some kind of ram air system.
like a working scoop to channel air directly in to the tb.

There is no benefit unless you are doing like my old man (he is pulling air from the cowl). I am going to run mine backwards and have 2 tubes that come back around to the front of the motor with a cone filter on each end. I guess far as looks opinions are like ********, everyone has one. I like the way it looks myself.

That's one way to get around the water pump to TB clearance issue when going to a car intake I guess. Next question is, how much clearance do you have at the back of the engine bay in your truck? I looked at mine and I don't see enough room to clear what you're talking about...

I think he said it's going into a '72 Blazer so he probably has LOTS of clearance.
