This fight is about the equivalent of a Pit Bull and a stuffed animal right now. There have been much worse...

Unfortunately, the issue here isn't being acknowledged at all, and that is whether or not the engine's dynamics are altered by the introduction of warmer or colder air, and whether those potential changes are positive/negative, to an FE stand point.

We already know that, all things equal, the approximate power output and throttle angle will be the same, and nearly the same amount of fuel will be used to create that power figure. The change at WOT between HAI and CAI is no more than 10HP max (5HP where we drive) on even mid-high powered engines. It will be much smaller on a G10.

Of course, you've seen the suggestions, and neither mod is very difficult, so why not just try it out and report back with your testing/conclusions?
