This thread raises an interesting question. When I bought an original cold
air box, the firewall end had been cut off. I wonder if this was in respect
of the phenomena Chris mentions. I went to considerable means to restore the
missing 2"x4" end, and wonder now if I have made a mistake. Should I put a
vent hole in the repaired end?
