Series 2 Intake

["Witbracht, Ivan L" <Ivan.Witbracht@West.Boeing.com>]

I'm curious about the reason for the water flow through the stock intake
manifold.  Is it intended to warm the manifold quickly when the engine is
cold, or is it to cool the manifold from the heat of the exhaust headers
below it when the engine is hot?

If the water line were disconnected, would the engine run stronger with a
cooler, denser air/fuel charge?
