I also did not know about this feature, and would also like very much to know if any other models had this feature installed from the factory.

I don't worry so much about that. Even if the intake air is heated to near the boiling point of water, the fuel spray from the injectors should cool the air to a few degrees above ambient. This happens because the fuel cools off the intake air as it vaporizes and sucks in latent heat of vaporization from the heated air. I already heat the air in my Magnum to about 40 or 50 F above ambient with a old Ford Probe heater core.
