So, when you take the little shield off of the radiator support on the older
style daks, you know, where the air tube is ran. That hp gain is due to
cooler air?

YES

Why do Mopar and aftermarket intake companies sell intake tubes that are
smooth instead of ridged like O.E.? It's due to airflow in the tunnel, not
air pooling. just my .02 and no aggrivation given or taken! =0)

No arguments there. But the "Ram" effect isn't even close to as high as it
would be on, let's say, an Race Car (Formula) Air Intake or a Dragster.
