[QUOTE="NoSVT's4me, post: 9954487, member: 6945"] It really doesn't matter which type of S/C is used, a cold air set up will help lower intake temps if it's set up well. Whether or not it CAN be set up well is the only question and from the looks, there isn't much going on here, short of a hood replacement designed for ram air or cowl induction, either of which (done correctly) would help aid cooler air entering the engine. For me, the Procharger seems easiest at this time, because several companies could build a cowl or ram air hood to force cooler air to the filter even if they fail to block off air coming from the sides and bottom... cold/ram air or cowl hoods have always helped reduce engine bay temps even when done half-heartedly. As long as movement exists, lower temps are possible. Bottom line here: Getting more airflow between the hood and the available filter locations should certainly deliver lower intake temps and that should lead to a better overall product, allowing for more power, more boost, longer engine life, whatever... one or more of those benefits is bound to be a reality. With the Procharger vs Vortech pictured, the PC looks better to me, not just to view, but to help keep lower temps due to overall design AND placement. The closer any forced induction is to the engine, the hotter temps one can expect. Plus, it will take longer to cool when the engine is shut down. All told, as cool as any S/C is, I prefer turbochargers just the same. :shrug: [/QUOTE]
