BUT, you'll be sucking in hot air from under the hood instead of cool air from outside. Cool air is denser and better for making power. But the cone filter will still work....

Yes it will "work" but you really should look into 'ram air' (getting the COOLER air from the front of the truck) or 'cowl air' (from the high pressure zone infront of the windshield). To get better air/fuel mix you want cooler air.
