Air Filter Location?
Anyone have any interesting locations for the air filter on a 5.0? Seems as if length of tubing I have is too short and causes turbulence with the IAC so I have a slight idle problem. Any suggestions/pics would be great!

The shop where I dyno tuned is said that the because the tube length is so short that when the air gets sucked in that it causes turbulence at the IAC which contributes to the rough idle. Now, it isn't horribly bad, but not real smooth.

Mine is behind the front bumper, I drove it in the rain and thru a rather deep puddle (approx. 9" deep, in Southern California no less) sucked up water and hydro-locked the motor, thinking of going to a more standard location, how much does the cold air intake help anyway?
