For $40 I'd buy it. If nothing else when you roll into an S-10 meet and pop the hood it will look cool

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.
I am not debating the power of cooler air. I run a big supercharger on top of my engine. I know all about air intake temps and their effect on my power.
My comment was directed here... Has anyone actually logged the difference in air intake temps? As I stated, my open filter intake my lightning will register within 2-3* of the outside air temp as soon as the truck is moving. Literally within a second.
Secondly, the MAF on these trucks account for air density. Has anyone logged that to see if there is a measurable drop in air density with any of these intakes?
You can spout all the theory you want, but back it up with something.
And the cool cans are because most high end fuel pumps will actually boil the fuel.
I also wonder, with a metal intake pipe, does it remove any heat from the intake air, or does it absorb heat from the engine bay and radiate it into the intake air?
I am getting new hot/cold pipes for project car, (before and after intercooler), and they tend to continue to cool the air by pulling heat out, vs the plastic that insulates the air more.
