Larger volume subsequently heated before mixture. Any thoughts?
I'll test it once I can get some gear.

First, welcome to EM...
The theory depends on the make/model of the vehicle. I've actually done this with a '98 Acura Integra with mixed results (highest reading was 180F). The ECU tends to retard the timing to prevent detonation, and can hamper FE efforts. I found 100F to be ideal in my case. Many Saturns, for example, increase efficiency at higher temps or if the ECU is fooled to think the intake air is hot (resistor mod).
Best FE to you...
