AC question

Ok guys i have a question mite sound stupid but what the hell. I was sitting in my car and thanking man this ac fills good. Got to wondering what the temps of my intake were. Well i thought y couldent You run a vent into the intake box form the ac. Is it dumb or might it work? If it did it would relly be alot colder.

Just a quetion

The extra engine load to run the A/C negates any HP gain you would get from sucking a/c cooled air.

So yeah, DUHR!!!!!

I need for every newbie to seriously stop obsessing over "cold air" Sure it helps, but it is not a cure all and do all fix for anything and everything.

And geeze, as a sidenote Teddy seems to wake up on the wrong side of the bed EVERY day. For short bursts a setup like this would actually work.
