[QUOTE="wydopnthrtl, post: 8753229, member: 9419"] I'm not sure what the problem is? I've done a lot of toying with this too. And on many different vehicles including my 2002 Lightning. What I've ended up concluding is to use the largest conical filter that will fit, and either make it totally sealed off with the largest possible "box" and tubes that will fit. OR.. a heat deflector shield that deflects & slows the heat coming from the engine when at speeds below 10mph. I've also found that no matter how large the cold air box surrounding the filter it'll cost you a bit of power on the top end. For my Lighting I just have a "L" shaped shield that covers the back / bottom / MAF sides of the filter. This has proven pretty effective at keeping the filter dry and prevent heat soaking during a typical 30-45 second red light / stop sign type of stop. Here is a [URL="http://home.comcast.net/~rbickford325611mi/index_files/KN/index-KN.html"][U][B][COLOR="Orange"]interesting datalog[/COLOR][/B][/U][/URL] from my ranger doing a open filter commute. I've since made a fully enclosed cold air box w/ram air from the grill opening. I can data log "TQ into convertor" and calc HP from it. With the box in place I loose about 5-6HP above 4000rpms. (even though my openings to the grill are much larger than the MAF diameter) Regards, Rich [/QUOTE]
