[QUOTE="9397SVTs, post: 16799667, member: 143297"] Yes, the blower does heat the air. Do you want to have a starting point of ambient or something warmer? If you remove the powerpipe and put a screen directly on the blower inlet, you'll likely see a drop in performance. I base this on the premise that by having an open inlet a boundary layer will form around the inside of the inlet, thus effectively reducing the size of the inlet. Add to this the mass of the screen further reduces the size of the inlet. The powerpipe streamlines the air and funnels it into the unobstructed inlet and reduces the boundary layer. Even though the powerpipe has a filter on it, due to its size, it has a considerably larger surface area for air flow. If you already have a 12"-14" filter on the powerpipe, I wouldn't worry about it. If you just have to know for sure, you can always data log running both set-ups and see what has lower IAT's and pulls less timing. [/QUOTE]
