Cooler air induction vs the HEAT WAVE.

[roccaas]

With 141 million Americans living in the 1 million square mile "heat sink", does it make sense to drop the Maze or air filter and run a temporary hose from the carb intake to some site on the front of the car to get "cooler" air until this heat wave breaks?

You could still have vapor lock from the intake manifold/exhaust manifold interaction working on the updraft mixture, but even a few degrees of cooler denser air might help driveability until we get some rain and relief!
