thats great dont get me wrong, but what about those of us without 12 feet of intake? (their test intake has at least 3 feet of straight vertical pipe that filled halfway) anyway id still buy and use one whenever i go full cold air but id make damn sure theres AT LEAST 18 inches of intake in front of that valve for my peace of mind.



EDIT: going back to the first post with the temp readings (very cool info, i cant believe the difference in idle temps!) if someone with a bit more knowledge than i has the actual equation for how dense air is at certain temps, it would help figure out which particular setup actually gets the most oxygen (although it looks almost certain its the cold air) it would be nice to get down to specifics.
