After cutting the bowl, but instead of drilling holes, the Hypermax "Air induction kit" is still available for 83 - 94 F-250 diesel.

You do not want to pull in any air from under the hood. Hot air is no help. The Hypermax unit is cowl induction. A non turbo will benefit more from ram air. There seems to be some discussion about cowl induction having any ram effect.
