GREAT POINT! I was told that the tranys on these things were not beefy enough for the torque, so I was a bit taken back by it when I first saw the ambulance.. I then found out that the owner had replaced the tranny with a beefed up heavy duty tranny that cost him about $5500 instead of $2500. I have no way of verifying that, but even my mechanic agreed that it was at least newer.

I like the cold air intake idea with the dryer venting material. You have to have at least one "jimmy Rigged " part on any car over 5 yrs old.
Thanks and please keep it coming
