Ram Air system in del Sol

Think it's a good idea? It seems like it might be simple to do. Run some hoses from the grill to the bottom of the air box. Give me some suggestions. Comments, anything.

There is no such thing as 'ram air' at automotive velocities. That is, you will NOT get 'ram effect' until approximately Mach .5, or half the speed of sound. In my area of the country, at this time of year, that would be about 380 MPH.

The only benefit you will see from running a hose from the grill to the bottom of the air box is cold air induction.
