Romer,
still deciding on whether to do it.
I just ebay'd the scoop to have... it's clean and simple and the location above the exhaust manifold, I figure is a good place.
I also liked the fact it won't let in a lot of dirt/water.

I have this theory that the underhood airflow is not as good on a lifted truck. (see crappy drawing)
Stock- air flows under the front axle- creating a large, low pressure area for heat and air to escape the engine bay

Lifted- air flows above the axle creating a smaller low pressure area and possible turbulence to hinder proper evacuation of heat and air.


Andy,
yeah the louvres are a great idea... i will consider that too...
