What would happen ?
So just PLAY along with me here for one sec. And I mean the serious guys that have tuned as well.......
Say for s***s and giggles I created a "parascope" intake on a completely stock S2K. It would consist of a short tube connected to the throttle body, stick out the top of the hood a couple inches, and bend forward where the opening of the tube would sit horrizontally facing the front of the car. This would create the ultimate ram-air situation.......following this line of thinking, as the speed of the car increased so would the dynamic coefficient *(psi).
THE BIG QUESTION: Is it possible to go TOO fast (100-160mph) in an S2K and and ram too much air into the engine? Wherein a "Lean Moment" would occur?????? Would I have to be prepared to tune my ECU under such conditions?
Go easy on me guys, this is purely hypothetical at the moment, and I'm simply wondering if this concept has its validations.
Hit me with your most technical opinions, the more the merrier!

Well.. I don't see how that would be possible since the MAP or MAF, whatevers on the S2k, needs to meter the air to adjust for fuel.
Highly unlikely of whatever you're saying happening.

I got kind of a similar question. I have a CAI and I was thinking of taking out that cover from my side grill and putting in the mesh grill to match my center mesh grill. My CAI filter sits right there behind that side grill. Will the cooler air help much through there? I know not much power wise, but will it help some of my bogging and atleast help my engine breathe in some cooler air? And I doubt driving through rain would cause a hydro-lock through this little opening of a mesh grill. The CAI does have a drain hole and the filter is a long way from the TB
