Take it down a step people.
This is a discussion not a pissing match.
Yes the colder the air going into an engine will increase performance. Thats why drag racers ice the manifold before a run. So yes he is correct. When I went to UTI back in the 80s we put nitrous on a diesel drag car. We could drop the intake air temp to -134 the colder the air, the denser the molecules are together. So this means,,,, what,,,, more air, more volume metric efficiency = more power and torque..
While this is a perfectly viable mod for some trucks in there local operation conditions, it may not be for others. Thats why in the Terms of Service agreement it clearly states do not do anything you may read. Read the DISCLAIMER.
He has experience in what he is doing, and what he is talking about. All of you do.
Just keep in mind everything you read, everything you type, is in your own opinion and means diddle squat in the big picture. Whats the big picture you ask? Helping others learn about there trucks and building the membership. Thats it. So please put aside the deference of opinions. If you ask a mechanic, "whats you favorite silicone"? you will get a different answer from each of them. I like Ultra Blue, just because it does not get a hard turd in the cap for up to 2 months. Some like black because it's easy to paint over, and so on..
In fact thillskier is probably one of the few guys on here that know why they put thousands of little holes around the inside of the cowling of a jet engine intake. Or why we put a chain to the engine on light aircraft that run a metal propeller VS wood.
FordBushi is a Canadian and if he still had the Mitsu engine it would not be a good idea for him to run the mod, just because it's frozen about 75% of the time. Me it would be just fine because I live on the Leftest coast.
PennyMan1,, well he is a living and breathing Wiki on these trucks and more and was right on the spot on one of the reasons why we added the heated intakes.
In fact everyone should put up an apologize and make nice or I'll send all of you to the M-User group for a time out.
