I italicized the words that confused me. I am honestly just trying to make sure I understand.

Warm air intake (wai) with controller all mechanical
There is much talk of a WAI (warm air intake) and how it could be done , but alas the idea seems to get stalled when the power loss/loss of FE (Fuel Economy) from uncontrolled IAT. Too cold / hot is bad for economy. Cummins states 1%power loss per 10°f above 60°f. EG. A 250HP diesel will produce 240HP with the same fuel demand as 250HP at 90°f IAT (Intake Air Temperature) this is measured at the intake manifold. So here's my Idea for controlling the IAT with a WAI
The old low tech.answer is found in the carburetor /TBI (Throttle Body Injection) air cleaner.
A bi metal adjustable thermostatic Vac.(vacuum) Switch

Sounds good to me! In theory, couldn't you use this technique to open vents on smooth wheel covers if you need to brake hard?
