[QUOTE="mosconiac, post: 2719552, member: 4013"] Although I have no empirical data to support this, I will offer this opinion. Its probably a wash. IF it gives some relative benefit from a hp perspective, its probably only at low speeds where the underhood temp is normally high. Once you begin moving, the underhood temps plummet to near ambient. Therefore, it would only provide a benefit at low speeds (launch). How much benefit can a few more hp get you at launch? The real question is, how much do you lose by doing this...as in aerodynamic disadvantage. Do you gain a small amount at the starting pad only to give it all away (and more) as you run thru the traps? Does one dominate the other? EDIT: The above assumes the car is running an underhood filter. If a true CAI is utilized, I can see NO benefit. [/QUOTE]
