Default How to make my air filter get cold air?

I have a edelbrock cone air filter currently and I’m concerned it’s taking in hot air, what’s the best and easiest spot to move it to so it’s getting cold air?

Put the stock air box back on.

Those air boxes look cool but the factory pulled air in from the front. It wasn't heated by the engine and had a slight ram effect. Find the factory intaake syetem from filter box to throttle body hat.



It may look boring but works better and will give you less trouble, especially in foul weather.
