Default good idea or just plain stupid?

my buddy and i got what we thought to be a great idea the other night(while drinking). through some planning and a case of beer we ended up hooking one of his a/c vents into his air box. defently a cold air intake. we havent got his injectors in yet to be able to start in and see how it dose yet. this wont screw anything up will it?

uhh... I highly doubt that little vent fan can supply anywhere even close to enough air for the motor.. if anything it will suck all the vents clean of dust and debris, and possibly fry the blower motor.

it has been done with a super leaf blower and a little 4cyl tho..

I would worry about over speeding the little fan in the air box...
