[quote][i]Originally posted by Daimo B[/i] We're talkiing the difference between quite a few degrees in temperature though. Heat soak creates the initial loss in power. It makes a vast difference. Its kinda like 1/4 miles and turbos. People bang on a huge IC to do 1/4 miles... Its like, heat soak people, your IC isn't going to do a damn thing until 1/2 way down the 1/4 mile. Get a Charge cooler dammit so the charge is already chilled on the line. Even when you start moving, the air inside the engine bay doesn't go away. Its still very hot air, and an open filter will continue to suck in that hot air and loose power. Sure a closed filter will get warm and hence warm the air inside a little more, but as soon as your moving, fresh cool air enters the chamber and cools the overal filter temperature. The filter won't be as poorley effected. If the owner was really anal, they've put heat wrap on the filter -> Throttle body, to keep the charge temp down to a minimum.
