Default Will more air help the 4 ?

Thinking about making like a ram air setup for my 95 2.5. t.b.routing from the front spolier to the airbox. Would i get anything out of it? Or would it be a waste of time

Doing this by itself will be a waste of time. Chances are if the rest of the motor is stock you are already sucking in all the air the motor can. Performance air intakes usually need to be added along with a lower restriction exhaust (like headers, high flow cat, performance muffler), and/or larger throttle body, more aggressive valve train, etc. before it will be worth while.

the only way more air will help the 4 cyl on these trucks is from a turbo
