Air is a critical ingredient in the working of an engine. The fuel cannot ignite on its own it must have oxygen to achieve combustion. If the engine is deprived of oxygen the engine will stall.

An engine's revolutions are greatly affected by the amount of air entering the engine, this is why people spend countless amounts of money on cold air intakes, turbo and superchargers. A turbo or supercharger force air into the engine making it rev higher and in turn make the car go faster.

Cold air intakes work on the theory that cold air is denser and provides a bigger combustion and expands more giving the engine more power. These are achieved by extracting air out of the main airflow running over the front of the vehicle, in the bumper or hood.
