Mother Nature's cold air intake

BIRDMAN said:

So one morning last week it was -8* F. My truck was a friggen hog. My gas mileage dumped to probably 9.x MPG but wow what a difference in really cold weather with a V8. It hit 3500RPMS and stuffed me in my seat like I had never felt before. Thoughts? Anyone feel me here?

The colder the air the more hp you will have... Run a dyno test at -10...lol great dense air the best away to increase hp... Thats why these so called cai's are not real cai's they lean more to hai's
Been there many times testing and these new vehicles need cold air for best performance... 30 years in vehicle testing with 13 in powertrain calibration i did learn a few things...

so does the cold air(dense = more oxygen) theory work as cold as u want to go?

Yes, dense air more oxygen/fuel... Check out the fastest jet car.. its intake air is cooled with liquid nitrogen

They need to find a way to route the A/C to the intake too. Then it would be a true Cold air intake.
