instead of an electric heater why not do it like they did on the old cars? a tube coming from the exhaust manifold heat shield into the airbox. with an on/off controlled by vacuum

at the least it wouldnt cost more energy to heat the intake. it would just use the excess heat.

I do know my intake manifold has coolant running through it (people block it off for performance)
