So, I've been thinking (dangerous i know)

Would there be any advantages to modifying the stock intake plenum to house a 2nd TB and intake from the drivers side?

Would having air enter the plenum from both the driver and passenger sides be advantageous?
If you did a devac and removed the ugly black box, you could add a 2nd intake.

Now there would be 2 paths of airflow, with air being drawn in from the stock location by the battery, as well as from the area where the vacuum box was.

Thoughts?

5 reasons cars are better than women

5) You can rub and wax a car in your driveway and not get arrested
4) Car's don't get mad at you for no reason every 28 days
3) You can't put a bumper sticker that says "How's my driving? Dial 1-800- EAT-S*IT!" on a woman.
2) You can sell your car to a complete stranger and nobody will get mad at you
1) Women can't go 200 miles per hour.

your still going to have the restriction of the head itself. Remember only a certain amount of air can flow through the stock ports and i think the Best thing you could do is get a larger TB such as an integra or B series

I had a friend in HS had one of those V6 capris with the raised bump on the hood.
He cut out the front of the raised part (tastefully) and made it so he had ram air.
Added 2 mph to his 1/4 mile time.
