Well, for one, I don't have the money to go buy a fan or something like that, and I definitely don't have money to go get a front mount unless it's absolutely free. I'll just make a scoop or some ----.

If you cant come up with $99 for a front mount, how are you gonna come up with money for the injectors and chip?

Well, I'll get the money eventually with my job here at the college. It's just that I have other things (such as rent) that I'd like to save my money for, so I'd rather not spend the extra $100 for a front mount when I have a perfectly good side mount that I got for free.

Why bother having an IC if it's not getting enough air to work properly? I care, my engine cares, and my wallet/bank account cares.
