im gonna go with a....yeeaaahh!!

but its fact, hotter air=less power, colder air= more power
if hotter air is read going into the engine, timing gets pulled= less power
the highest my iats have ever gotten was 120. that was when it was 107 when i lived in cali. the headers, thermostat, and intercooler are big factors in keepin temps down.
