Provide data to back this up.
Better yet provide the data that the hp you lose while sitting STILL will affect an end user
I have ran 4 different intake setups on my car modded stock, IE v1, injen evolution, injen style cheap open intake, and I have ran the the cheap open with and without the heat shroud - on all these setups I consistently would have the data visible of IATs in real time (not a Reddit log
)NEVER did I see a significant affect in temps WHILE driving and in motion.
Yes an open intake sucking in initial air that’s 5-6 degrees higher after sitting still and just making boost can affect wastegate effort at spool up (which uses 100% anyways) beyond that it’s sucking in so much air it’s irrelevant.
Just like you love to battle about intercoolers and people repeating trash on the Internet…. The theory that a open intake on a FORCED INDUCTION car robs powers cause heats soaks is that same situation that you’ve bought into. Yes open shorty intakes affect NA with hot
