Was under the SS this morning and saw that it's a basically a straight shot fom that fake vent on the driver side front bumper to the engine bay. Was thinking I could easily run a 3" hose from that vent the engine bay area around the TCM/PCM. The only purpose is just to throw a little extra fresh cool air in the engine bay. Any thoughts if that extra fresh air would serve any purpose or is it a waste of my time. Would it help keep the heat down at all?:confused:

just my opinion, but from all that I have been told, you want the engine to run at it's intended operationg temp., it's the intake air temps that need to come down..if there was a true "Ram Air" set up like a WS6 T/A that would help, I don't thinkanything eles will, by way of "cooling the engine compartment, except maybe extending the life of the Hoses,Belts, wires, etc.
