does anyone have any hard data etc regarding increases in air temp, and consequent performance decreases?

im thinking this could go someway to explaining my missing +40rwhp...



Hot air definitely decreases power output... there is no two ways about that.

The question is how much hot intake pipes heat up the ingoing air inside them.
If they do heat the air a lot, it could lead to some interesting problems.

For example, if the intake air temp sensor and AFM is just after the air-filter, the heating of the air after that would cause the engine to run rich... who knows by how much though.

Even if its not causing the power loss, it would still be a good idea to get a heat-shield installed.
