Its pretty simple, the colder air is, the more dense it is, this helps you two ways. You get more oxygen to burn and more expansion in the PV curve.
I am thinking that an actual moving car might have less issues with the heat than a car on the dyno, even with a huge fan. More air moving around the car might affect airflow in this area to where it makes its full power.
I htink someone here monitered the IAT with this intake under actual driving and found the temps to be good.
I think to be fair to Stillen I'll dig up the nose off dyno chart and show that and let the readers make their own conclusions.
