The engine will warm up faster giving you better fuel economy, the warmed air vaporizes fuel better burning more completely also giving better fuel economy.
Might be a quick fix but I don't think that'll do too much with where my intake is at - it's on the far passenger front, directly behind the headlight. I moved the snorkel, but it's only about 6 inches long, just a sharp curve. I just drove 25 miles, hopped out, and stuck my hand in that space - there's no discernible difference in temp. I think it's too far from the main engine. I'm gonna have to create a custom duct that runs down into the engine interior for any real difference.
