I can see that. Since air expands as the temp goes up, less air will fit through your intake. So the computer has to scale the fuel back to keep the A/F ratio even.

More importantly, warm fuel will burn more efficiently/completely, allowing you to extract the most energy from a given amount of fuel.

The only time that cold is good is for wide-open-throttle performance, since you can cram slightly more cold fuel/air into a cylinder than hot air, hence more fuel=more power (but less efficiently).

Thats one reason I put mine next to the top hose, instead of the manifold.
It's been stated that about 150 is tops for improvement. If I go WOT I will quickly get cooler air.

Best of both worlds, great economy at low engine speeds, with decent power when needed.
