I think the same way as well unless you can build a heat shield insulate ( isolate ) from the engine heat. If it doesn't, you still suck hot air.
Anyway, I found power & torque loss even on a highway speed. I'm supposed to suck cooler air when running at 60 mph. What I found is my car take longer to reach 60mph with same throttle apply before.
What do you guys think ?
