There's far less air being forced into the engine compartment, so what's inside heats up - a temporary warm air intake.


I expect you're going to see some nice improvements in everyday driving.
I am talking about while moving at 40MPH, it was at 116 and climbing when I shut it off and yanked the block off to keep from killing my engine. ecotecs do not take very high intake temps very well.
