thanks for your response, i appreciate it. by cold outside i mean its winter and temps are around -10. i was wondering if that winter air is too cold coming through a tornado filter and wouldnt be very good for the engine. so i would be better off with the stock box you say? even if it is a bit more restrictive?

If you like the intake noise and just a few more hp, then by all means go for it. The PCM will adjust for the air temp outside.Sounds as though you may need a fuel additive to keep it from freezing

engines make the best power with cool slightly damp air.
