All right guy chill out. All I'm saying is that if his cold air intake set
up lost HP on the Dyno because it was drawing in hot air from the engine
then he has one of two problems. 1.) his intake isn't set up well (Ron
mentioned that) or 2.) the dyno set up isn't true to real world conditions
because the heat is staying in the bay.
No not all dyno runs are BS, but I still believe fresh air through the grill
at 50mph is gonna cool better than a few fans.
