OK, again, I stand corrected.

<Some of you guys need to read the pressure equation that Mike posted.
Learned that in 9th grade but it doesn't answer the original question.

<Better yet, go read Mike's "suck, squish, bang, blow" series on
turbochargers.
Read almost the entire series. Best thing on paper, ever.

<Compressing air heats it.
No one here had EVER contended that.

< Cold air is good. Engines like cold air.
Never contended that either, but a CAI is, as has been stated before, more
than a device to simply bring cold air into the engine.
