OK... an update on the warm air intake... Works awesome in the Summer... Even with near 100 degree temps. I still have my engine bay heavily insulated as well as the tubing for the intake. This car is killing it in the heat. I'm averaging about 64mpg this tank and climbing. No doubt it is a huge gain and I hope this answers some of those who were wondering when I first put this mod in with the large amount of insulation to keep the intake temps as high as possible. No engine issues and car runs great. I've noticed a large decrease in power, which was expected since it is getting less fuel. Lean burn is a beautiful thing.
