I know that colder air is denser and a lot of 60's/70's gasser muscle cars used to have ram-air hood scoops and stuff, but does this also work on diesels? |
A diesel can make more power if it has colder intake air...........the air has more oxygen and can combust with more fuel. But, on most engines.........including yours..........the engine doesn't know the air temperature and cannot make adjustments in the fuel delivery.
