Default Cold Air Intake and Tornado???

Is it worth it to do both cold air intake and a tornado? Thanks for your thoughts.

the tornado is a waste ,the air is not still spinning when it gets into the combustion chamber so who cares what it does before that,

Yeah, the tornado has been proven time and again to be a scam. It's actually going to restrict airflow if anything. Why stick something in the path of airflow?

CIA is good but it is very hard a true cold air system with the D because the way the front end is set up.

yeah I was thinking hydra that if I could get a pipe and extend it so I could the filter towards the bottom of the eng down kind by the tire bay and then placeing a KNN filter on a custom pipe job then I could get air form out side rather than inside the hood.. you think that would be something to look into.. I have been thinking about it for a while now... Jp

Or route your plumbing to pull air in the same area where the A/C pulls in outside air. Here is the link to see it. This link was posted in the Durango forum under "Snorkel"

yeah I have always wanted a ram air hood. but I am now thinking about the future.. and I have 2 years left on my warrenty I don't want to have that money go down you drain you know.. but that gives me two years to save up for my supercharger for durango.. so next to hydra I will be one of the fastest durangos in utah.. but damn if hydra gets a supercharger and doesnt let me know about it that will suck.. :-) ... and most hoods I have seen have all ben like 500+ dollors and then you have to paint it and get it mached..so I am not sure I want to spend that kinda money if it will not work with supercharger (my thoughts in seeing the supercharger thinks it wont work) so if the case is is wont work I will look into other things .. like new laptop..
