I have run a WAI through two summers and a slight 2* ignition timing advance, have seen IATs at 140* occasionally, and have had no excessive lean mixture problems. The ECU compensates. But the WAI reduces pumping losses by requiring the throttle to be open further to achieve the same power.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
