"So....Take off and climb might indeed see a difference from OAT of under 100F, but actual induction air temps of 150F to 175F.  Is that bad?  Oh, I forgot the impact of passing thru the oil sump and then hitting the hot cylinders after being cooled by fuel vaporization........  In any event, software from Sacramento Sky Ranch calculated a loss of 5% - 8% power if the induction air temperature is raised by these amounts.

Per General Motors Engine Test Code Book the power loss from 100F MAT change is 10.7%.  150 to 175 deg increase would be closer to a 15% loss.
