Default Daydreaming about a custom intake and electric fans

I'll admit that I'm kind of a newb when it comes to F150s but tell me if this would work.

I was daydreaming about taking a JLT intake, extending it out to the front of the engine, and using electric fans to blow cold air into it.

Would this work or am I crazy?

I was also thinking about a Gryphon. Would they be able to make a custom tune for something like this?

Your crazy. Electric supercharged have been around for a while and they don't do Jack. The tuner will help make some power

It wouldn't really be electric supercharged. The point of me wanting to put the filter closer to the fans would be to eliminate the downfall of the JLT intake, which is sucking hot air.

Any other opinions on this?

The ram air hood would be just as worthless ad the electric sc. Do the gotts mod and be done with it. $15 and will get you basically the same gains as any aftermarket cai
