Air is cooler also which makes a power difference even if it's a little one...Simple tests (which I have help do and seen done also) include on a dyno do an initial run when at operating temps then undo the standard intake box (4-5 clips and lift up the intake to face into the fan and do another run, this will show an initial leaner mixture down low with an increase in spool and overall power (I'm not sh!tting you) and finally remove the pipe off the compressor housing so that there is no intake or restrictions and run it again... Watch and see! None of that is tech-a-nogical now is it so easy as p!ss to do!
