As for heated the current intake, I see a MAJOR lost of power here in the summer even with the engine holding its running temp at 190 with 110 degree intake air.

And when it gets cold a big power boost and better MPG in the cold winter air temps.

SO in my book colder intake is better.

Rich

The English and US mile are the same.
I successfully tested my switchable cold air and thermostatic intake it worked great. The switchable intake gives improved fuel economy or full power when needed. Now all I need to do is automate it.
