An additional info I've found: there is a 3% HP loss for every 20 degree F increase in ambient air temperature. So if this is prevented or better yet reversed so the air intake is 20 degrees cooler, a 278 HP Titan can (possibly) gain 8.34 horses instead of losing them. Is this math right? This does not take into account the positive pressure of the "ram" effect forced into the box (unmeasurable unless in motion).

How about something like this?
