Like one of my teachers said, don't trust anyone with a PhD. Im not saying you are one though...

Alright.

+ There is no compression of air when using the stock intake system or any other intake system (SRI, CAI, IceBox).

+ Water does not freeze at around or a bit below 60 degrees, more like 32.

+ The air temp. going through the intake is not 30 degrees below outside temp. It's actually about 30 degrees higher.

+ Reducing the temp of the TB will help prevent heat soak to the intake itself and also traveling air within the intake. Thus increasing HP.

+ This mod is most effective in warmer climates where their is no concern of a freezing TB.

+ I don't honestly see how a TB could "freeze" stuck unless it was drenched in water and flash froze.

+ I don't have a degree.
