So the benefits of a cooler intake charge are pure conspiracy theory...and all these fresh air systems and scoops are nothing but a ploy to dupe the masses.
Intercoolers must be pure fiction.
So, tell us, Dan..exactly how many race cars have you built or tuned?
Dyno time? How much time have you spent around those things? Or is that pure fiction as well.
Seriously man..your schtick is getting old. Some people have actually graduated past memorizing service manuals and copy/pasting links to .org.
Other people are trying to learn from them.
Maybe you should consider stepping out of their ******* way, no?

It all depends on the use of the vehicle. Cool air is better, on a race car. warm intake is better on a street car. I had a car (not mopar) one time, that had the manifold heat blocked, and cool air ducted from the grill area. Driving on the interstate in a cool, about 45 degrees, damp day, the car started losing power, and finally died. Got off te road, popped hood, didn't see anything wrong, started up, and drove off. After several times of this, I found that the carb was actually getting blocked with ice formation.

On my turbo engine I had to heat the carb adapter with heater water, to keep ice from forming on the outside, which caused fuel puddling, and surging.
