I said intake temp is insignificant not that it doesn't contribute something. Even 20 degrees in intake temp is pretty small compared to 200, 300 or more degrees of compression and turbo heat. And with an intercooler, unless it is heat saturated, it is really the determining factor of charge temp anyway. If you want to reduce intake temp, get a better intercooler, not a CAI.
