Anyone have or seen Popchargers and Post MAF tubes as a Setup?

Problem with this setup is that it sucks in air from under the hood which is hot as hell when the car is being run hard. The Stillen G3's draw

Problem with this setup is that it sucks in air from under the hood which is hot as hell when the car is being run hard. The Stillen G3's draw air from outside the engine bay which is going to be colder.

This is the main reason most go with the Stillen G3's or someother long tube intake. There's plenty of threads on this exact issue so just do a search.

Yeah ive heard of the heatsoak problems of the overheating VHR but im planning on installing a vented hood and hoses from the fangs that force air into the popchargers. The stillens gen 3s lose power when the bumper is covering them and the metal piping gets real hot. Maybe the stillen gen 3s do offer more peak hp but I want to go a different route just to be the first to test.
