So as we all know the intake air temps get low enough in winter to hinder fuel economy and idle combustion efficiency. I have a winter front the helps out quite a bit, but I think they could stand being a little warmer.
I generally block off my home depot CAI in winter to keep snow/moisture from entering the airbox and maybe run a little warmer air.
I have been considering adding a 2" deck plate on the engine side of the air box. Close it in the summer when I don't want engine air, and open it in the winter when it's a good thing.
I considered a 3" opening because my HD CAI is 3" and the plug would work for both, but not sure I want/need that much hot engine bay air?
What do you guys think?
