Probably nothing, but a degree of cooler air should help HP gains

@Luis_GT ..... if you weren't such a nice guy, I would call ....

But since I'm a nice guy, I won't call .....

However, if someone else should happen to call .... , I wouldn't disagree.

Let's see, allow me to offer an algorithum for those inconsiderate people who will call ....

Inside diameter of the TB x length of the TB = (x) sq in, as a function of the amount air passing through the TB, contacting the surface area for (y) amount of time divided by the delta in temperature between a TB that is being cooled by coolant and one that isn't. Of course, atmospheric pressure, humidity and air density would have to be factured in before this could be used to evaluate HP gain (if any).

Just sayen ....
