[QUOTE="2cvbloke, post: 869779, member: 199791"] I love seeing modified engines, not because of the modifications themselves, but because I know that their custom air filter setups will give them much less power due to them eliminating the cold-air intake system, so the engines are sucking in hot engine bay air which means the air is less dense when it goes in the engine and therefore causes a drastic power loss, as cold air expands a lot more in the cylinder when the fuel is ignited, hence why you get people doing drag races with their air-intake manifolds wrapped up in dry ice so they can get that little extra boost by chilling the air coming in (doesn't work though, the air rushes through too fast for it to be cooled enough)... :-rofl2 [/QUOTE]
