Remove the air box door. Take the right side cover and hammer the leading edge into a flared lip. Instant ram air intake going into the air box. Just run a little larger main jet than regular to compensate for the extra air flow into the air box when at speed. Think about it, it will work better than any cheap fan set up. The faster you go the more air will get forced into the airbox which will give some positive pressure at the carb. When at idle or riding slow the stock lower end jetting won't be affected. You will see the advantage only at high way speed where the extra pressure in the air box is at the max. Just a thought

Did it increase your top speed any?

If you think there's good in everyone, you haven't met everyone.

Way back in '92 I used the 4" version hooked with the rigid flexable drier vent hose to a drier vent 'scoop' to get a little air into my Opel GT mini-stock. In a 25 lap race, it would get over 140 degrees in the car. And we experimented with a couple of different types of flexable hose to find the rigid flex flows best. Believe me, you wouldn't get any noticable performance boost from one of these.
