"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. Scott Krueger

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.
