Cold air intakes are non existant from the manufacturers.

That was a product of Sponaugle Engineering, AKA the garage shop.

I think if you do like Dave S, you will probably get about as cold as possible. That is just taking air from the outside and drawing it straight into the intake.

Those cone shaped things under the hood suck in hot air.
Hot air is not good for power.

Can a modern one be modified, never looked at one.
I have less than 20 dollars in mine.
Never found one near that cheap to consider modifying it.
