When you do that you lose temperature, but don't you also lose boost pressure?

Probably so. But boost is just the measure of a restriction to your flow. What counts is CFM. And like I said. Most of us have more than enough CFM's that we cn cram into our engines. That's why I said I doubt if any of us would see any meaningful gain from it.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm damn sure not consistent enough to say with any certainty whether my car picked up or lost even a .1 sec on any given mod or tweak. There are way too many variables that enter the picture. I cracked up one day when a guy in the Sportsman footbrake lane at Sunshine was telling me he screwed on this little widget to his carb and he picked up .02 in his ET's. That's some serious shit right there!
