Camino. Lol besides the sound that the hot air intake gives the car, not sure what other gains you could get from it. I know that I'm going to try to push the intake out in front of the grill somehow. That's the real gain right there.
As long as the stock engine cover is in use you still have 25-30 degree over ambient temps. Advantage to HA is less restriction. I ran 1 side of intakes as HA and OEM on the other.. temps while moving were within 15 degrees of ambient. Less restrictive side was pulling the air and keeping the tract cooler.
And as a foot note.. everything I've googled.. 10 degrees = 1 hp. Kind of lets you put a price to how much do you want to spend for that 3HP gain.
