I did an intake air temp check when i had my SVT with a cone filter in the stock airbox location. There is NO difference between ambient air temp and intake air temp once you are moving at all. The underhood air doesn't just sit there, it comes out once you are moving. The only way to draw hot air from the engine bay into the intake is to seal the hood grille and underbody completely. You will probably lose power with that setup.


As for claims of power increases from CAI kits, well they also replace the maf tube and are usually slightly larger diameter to cause a slightly leaner condition. Also replacing the stock airbox with a cone filter helps a little. I assure you that running a long tube to the front of the car does nothing.
