In theory it could work. Cooler Intake charge... ricer appearance... AND if you add 2 of those Tornado Intake thingys in the 90* bend to assist with extra tumbling effect of the air.

Hell yeah, I bet that cools the air by 70% vs the standard cold air kit that's under the bumper.
PS,
I hope you're kidding.

what kind of restriction would an intercooler put on a naturally aspirated engine? I would figure the restriction negates any cooling effect provided.

Ita not really the intercooler itself, its the length of pipes and couplings. But seeing as your taking ambient air and cooling it with the same air...where does the cooling come from?

Touche (sp? looks like douche :shrug ) That does make sense. Probably be better served putting his efforts into a ram air of some sort.

That's what I was going to say, but I posted on the sense that the OP was being sarcastic.

You guys just can't see the water-to-air IC he has under the hood. That whole thing just feeds the snail. Like you would just throw out a nice FMIC. :rolleyes

Maybe it's for his pending turbo install.
