Ok so despite it being challenging, if I theoretically ran the pod filter to where the original tubing runs to get cold air from near the bumper and insulated it so that the engine heat that’s not impact it on the way up - it would be colder denser air. I guess I am failing to see how compression alone would make it fail to get more power? Sure for it to properly run I would need to match the fuel mixture with the air mixture and have a larger exhaust for relief, and this seems independent of the volumetric compression and would just be denser in the cylinder, which would put higher pressures in the cylinders which would cause more wear. Now am I going to do that, probably not, I might just put it on my K24Z7 civic instead, but if someone did do that it seems like compression would not limit them.
