The raised air intake temp is certainly going to reduce the max HP available to you, but I'd think it would improve fuel economy because the lower density air reduces pumping losses. If I'm wrong about this I'd sure like to know it, because I went to some trouble to provide a hot air intake for my turbo diesel street car (mine's a Kubota with no intercooler, but the principle should be the same, right?)
