This is only partially true. I put a digital thermometer behind my hood latch found that the temperature was the same as ambient at highway speeds (I was trying to see if the MAF on my 951 would be sucking hot air). While it no doubt sucks hot air in traffic/stop and go, once on the highway, plenty of air flows through. Now whether or not it increases HP is another story....

I'm actually not as interested in HP gains with the N/A set up like this (I agree, there is no free hp on this engine) but the possibility of removing a little weight and possibly better throttle response. After taking off my airbox yesterday, it's really not as heavy as I thought.
I tell you what, if someone has one of these laying around, send it my way and I'll run the car both ways on the dyno at the fest!
