A/C Powered Ram Air
I don't know if this has been discussed before, but is it possible, to make it, so the air breathed into the engine, is run through the a/c to make it colder, than routed back into the engine?? is this plausible, or does the engine suck to much air in for this to actually work? would their be any hp gains worth doing this as well?

nah, the so called tornado just puts a spin on the incoming air which some people say they sware by it but i don't think it does anything... anyways back to the a/c thing. the new ford lightning concept actually has a tank that uses the a/c to build up cold air in, and there is a button that you can press for basically a free instant 50hp, i'm not sure how long it lasts or how long it takes to fill the tank back up but a cool idea none the less
I'm not sure if you could have the airconditioning system make enough cold air to make a very noticible power increase but i guess if ya don't mind drivin' with your windows down on a hot day and have a couple extra hp
