Why not measure both and see if you can beat the teams of factory engineers with their millions of dollars budget.
SEMA is a big waste of time for you hu
I backed up my modifications with testing at the track where it counts.
The truck ran a 15.7 @80 mph when I bought it in July of 2004 and was running a 14.0 @ 98 mph when I sold it in July of 2007. That was with the transmission slipping I'm sure had I kept the truck I would have saw high 13's this winter. Looks like I beat the engineers pretty badly.
Air temp is important but once it makes it to the intake manifold it warms up pretty quickly.
If the million dollar engineering budget was for performance aftermarket parts would not exist.
