No, You'd be wasting your time. The blockage of air would kill your power. -Later, BR

no. im guessing you have a sohc. only ways to get real power is swap or turbo. na is very expensive and not worth it on those engines.

I dont know how many guys I have seen with interfoolers... all i know is its way too many. I mean its $100 off ebay for one and I guess they think it looks cool...its just so obvious when you look in the bumper and see no lower charge piping its for looks and they have a single under the hood.

In some cases yes. others no cause they are trying to hide the fact it is an interfooler...some are just too ignorant to care.

...and they actually pop the hood for people?

Sorry I'm off-topic. Just suprised by people and their silly interfoolers.

OP...DONT DO IT...spend your money elsewhere...even if an intercooler were given to you for free...and you have no plans of turbo...still don't use it...sell it...and spend the money elsewhere.

Yes, some kids are so clueless. I sold a set of pistons to a kid on monday and he thought the wrist pins were bearings and the rings went on top of the dome....its amazing whats out there driving around "building" motors

unless your car has a turbo or is getting a turbo very soon i'd vote no, unless of course you want your car on ricer spotted thats one of the things one of my friends look for when taking pics for ricer spotted.
