I with the small animals on this one. Chipmunk, mouse, anything that could come in through the intake scoop.

Somewhere this winter there'll be this squirrel wondering where the hell his food is.

Dude, this sure looks like hashish to me! You must have forgot about where you put it man.

What a pain. I had to take the entire intake box out to get all of the mysterious objects out. What the deal with the hollow / unaccessible portion of the box? There is only a little hole between it and the portion of the box where the air filter resides and it seem to be chambered for some reason...

About the extra HP, y'all might be right. I took her out after I was done and embarrassed a mustang...

What The- sorry about that

To those who hold the small woodland creature theory- that sounds like a lot of work for the little fella, there were at least 100 - 150 of those little objects in there. I guess it would be fairly easy for a mouse to get in there.

And the moral of the story is, when putting your car away for the winter add this to the list of things to do.
- open hood and stuff a rag into the air intake to prevent rodents from making a new home out of your airbox.

It looks like dog food to me. My friend Dave has a garage where we build a lot of our stock cars and he has a few dogs. The mice take the food from the bin and hide it everywhere. We are always picking out dog food from the intake or from the air filter of all the cars. Some of our engines have been sitting for a while and yea, they are full. We have occasionally taken off the heads and found some food down sitting on the top of the pistons. Mice can climb up walls and squeeze thru about anything.

Damn, I think that is the one of the weirdest things I've ever heard of

Maybe like someone said a rat or mouse could have brought those in through the intake..........or if you left your airbox cover off for a while something could have crept in there.

First time I opened my filter box, I found some puppy chow. The car is parked about 2 feet from the dog food bin. I though that the car must have some serious suction to pick up the dog food. The mice thing is a better bet.
