Probably not enough difference to show up on a dyno.  You'd have to =
encapsulate the intake in 1" of insulating foam to reduce its =
temperature to any significant degree and, even then, how much would =
that decrease the temperature of the incoming air?  Four degrees?  Ten =
degrees?  (that air is only in the intake for a fraction of a second, =
remember)
What would that equate to in HP?  One-quarter hp? Half a horse?  Put =
your efforts into optimizing the timing and mixture....

  I think Im going to build a heatshield between the valve cover and the =
intake runners. Sound good? I think it will make a difference
