Now, we can assume that pressure is constant, and we're talking about a fixed volume of air so thats constant too. And the constant is ... I don't need to explain that one, do I?

So lets re-write that equation for our situation
n 1/T

Now, going from 70F to 90F means that your air temp has increased by 4% (relative to absolute zero). So if it goes up by 4%, then the amount of air has gone down by 4%, and consequently you're engine power will be down by a similar percentage.


Speaking from experience with sock stuffing?
I hate you,

I guess my point was that in a DD stop and go Not WOT environment you wont see much gain in a CAI over non CAI.

what say you?

Please no more equations..... That gives me a thought.....
