Default relocating intake

is rerouting the intake to the passenger side going to make any noticeable difference. i'd figure since it won't be laying on the radiator it will stay a little cooler. has anyone around here done this before? i know taylor did but i hadn't herd of any one else

I've seen it on a few 240s on a different board. I don't really think there would be more than a 1hp difference. Once you get rid of the small, bumpy-flex intake for a 3" intake, that's about all the power you'll get. Just making it shorter cleans up the engine bay imo, but don't expect to feel a difference.
