Scientific? No
Logical? Yes

There was quite a bit of argument when all these Hot Air intakes arrived on the scene for the 135 back in 2008. I do remember one dyno that showed good results, but how accurate is a dyno of a cold air intake when the hood is open? I specifically remember my 135 feeling great for the first 5 minutes after I started it then it went to crap pretty quickly as the engine bay heated up.
I had the BMS DCI on my 135 but it was the last mod after exhaust and JB3 so I felt no perceptible difference. I still think gains from the increased volume would outweigh losses from the increased heat, but I have no proof behind it.
