Cooling the intake charge helps no matter how it's done--. Just pay
attention to the dew point!

doesn't lowering your fuel temps help lower the air/fuel mix temps by
cooling the air faster from the refrigeration effects of liquid fuel
changing to a vapor?
(ummm there must be a more scientific description of this effect, I just
can't think of it right now....) and I am not sure of the amount of
cooling that this would bring about either....
