Ive been wondering the same thing? Im loooking to use one on my 600 cfi? I was also wondering if when you install this kit, do you remove all of the plastic duct-work on the underside of your hood?

Thanks,
MAXX

That intake makes no sense, it just exchanges cold air for warm under hood air. Doesnt make sense to me.

That's what i was thinking too. The only good thing imo is that it won't let anything get into the throttle body.

I would be very careful with that setup....it will likely cost you HP or something worse. You have a sensor in the airbox & the air horns in the air box are both required for proper operation. Maybe they have it figured out or more likely they don't. Not going to lose a lot of weight either-my air box with sensor, air horns, carb boots & clamps weighs 2#'s 14 oz. The hood plenum weighs about a pound. Add back their stuff maybe lose 2 lbs? Spend money on:beer;:beer;:beer; instead?

Works on the 700/900 laydown engines, but doesn't look worth it for the smallblock CFI's.
