My thermostatic intake is a little different than most. It also packs a switchable cold air intake. There for no loss of power when I need it.
Plus the thermostatic mixer we use keeps the air temperature between 90°F and 95°F.
So you think heating the fuel will not cause a loss of power?
Steering my 3/4 ton suburban at speed with no power steering is not a problem. The secret is cursing down the road you don't actually use any power assistance unless you are trying to turn hard enough to flip your vehicle. I have the power steering unhooked and can still drive just fine, even in parking lots.
So "No power steering" isn't an excuse.
Power break booster hold vacuum in reserve incase the engine stalls to allow power assist for 2 or 3 pumps of the brake.
As far as I'm concerned if some one can't handle their vehicle with out power assistance they shouldn't be allowed to drive. All that means is they will panic and crash when the engine stalls when approaching a turn or traffic stop.
EOC is a lot safer than trying to super heat gasoline.
