very true. I did learn something just this winter about venturi..it doesn;t matter about heat, if the air is at speed to be a shredder..guess what? the fuel goes with it...it is a stupifying epiphany.

Speaking of .. I will show my own mod not far off, and notes of before and after, it ought to be as obvious as it seems. I rin a carb, and they are dranatic to such chores. Some may note that injections, everything electronic has heat. that is the desire for CAI on may vehicles. not to be faster, but for efficient, and get the air correct.
