Isn't that what the Lightning trucks did?...or something like it. I know of several customs that did it at WOT.

How about running a duct from the Air Conditioner to the carb? You would have to run with the AIR on all the time but you'd have cool air to the carb! DOH...But then you'll have to fix the Air Conditioner in the car first!

I've been searching for this article for years...very concise & easy to
understand test results.  In the real world, there

are greater and easier gains to be had by lowering intake temps than raising
pressures.  Real world! not counting superchargers

and the like.  Just taking air from somewhere cooler than the normal engine
compartment air was better than ramming air into the engine.  You get the best
of both from a scoop usually, but the benefit comes from the temp drop. Reducing
air pressure below atmospheric was not in the cards.  I guess you could
design/build a scoop bad enough to actually lower pressure around the carb. 
Whatever....what were we talking about?
