I'm curious, who here is actually logged intake air temps with and without the stock intake? Have you logged a marked difference? Can you scientifically prove any?
I have hundreds of data logs on my lightning. They all show that as soon as the trucks moving iat drops to within a few degrees of ambient.
Have you logged maf counts to see if the warmer air is actually showing a drop in air density?
Have you ever heard of a "Cool Can", usually used in drag racing to reduce the temperature of the gas going Ito the engine.
Why would anyone use a Cool Can if it didn't do anything ?
I used to see Racings take ice cubes and dump them on the engine intake to cool it down, why would they do that ?
And it is scientific fact that cold air in more dense, and in turn it will pack more !
When you put a more dense cool gas under pressure, mixed with a combustable atomized liquid, it make a bigger boom, a bigger make more HP
!
I am sure there are a lot of different ways to get more HP from your engine, one being Cooler Air... and the amount of increase in HP is based on your other components. If you add a good outside air supply but have a bad fuel injection system or Carburetor, or maybe other wore out components, then you may not record as much gain in HP. Under normal situations, a Cool Air Intake System using outside air WILL increase HP and Torque.
No I do not have Scientific Data to support, nor am I going to look it up but the theory of Cool air and HP has been in the works for years.
