So arnt Cold Air Intakes basically worthless on our cars seeing as how the supercharger heats the air up anyways?
Isnt the intercooler the one cooling factor we have?
 
well lets see,if you start with hot air from under the hood and then run it through the sc and heated it up even more wouldn't you think that by starting with a cooler air supply that the air temp when it finally reaches the engine would be lower?just my 2 cents
 
So if it starts at 80 or 120, it'll still hit 140 max?

Or does starting at 80 mean you'll only end up at 130?
 
I would think the real gain is in other aspects. Less tubulance over the rippled funky tube, less heat disipated by the aluminum.....not to mention I think the whine of the SC is more dominate. But that last one could just be me.
