Default idea of getting cold air to intake?..yea im a idiot..

SO me and a friend of mine was talking about my blazer and random "redneck" performance mods we could do to it...well..here is a idea i had,what if i could hook a hose etc up to the ac to blow cold air into the intake when i have the ac on? would it be enough to make a difference? this is not my dd so why not mess with it?


p.s. yes im a idiot,but it doesn't hurt to ask? lol

The power used to drive the compressor will probably out do the power gained by using the cold air to begin with.

What I have done, is added another snorkel to the air filter. It has the factory snorkel / heater assembly on the driver's side and my 'aftermarket' one on the passenger side.

The new one will be plumbed in as well to the core support. Not sure if it'll help or hinder, but seems like it should. More available air is better than less.
