I agree!
But nice post SVOboy.
I just don't understand how warmer air can increase efficiency.
However I have not done any research myself.
Since Cold Air Intakes take in denser air, which stuffs more oxygen in the explosion chamber, I guess it the computer puts in more fuel to compensate. Maybe that is why.
There probably is a whole thread on this somewhere, so sorry for not searching. I'll check later.
