Bushman, I'm not sure there is much you can do about lowering the air intake temp. However installing an oil cooler and larger capacity radiator should ensure that you never have to worry about your engine running too hot and retarding the timing

The amount of people learning to shift AFTER getting their driving license puzzle me.
It's insultingly easy to get a license here in the US. It's downright criminal that you take tests that a monkey can pass and then all of a sudden you can drive around in a 5500lb SUV. Things you don't have to do to get a license:

-drive on an interstate (our high speed roads)
-learn what to do in a spin/slide
-panic brake, to understand how ABS works
-parallel park (required in some states but not mine, NC)
-drive in the rain
-drive at night

Instead our lazy government thinks they can keep regulating cars to be safer and safer, making them heavier and more expensive. Meanwhile the basic driver's test hasn't been updated since before the interstate road system was built.
