[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 538016, member: 52972"] Johnnie, Yes. However it is a very small increase. However Lowering your engine's intake air temperature will increase the HP output. The rule of thumb is about 1 HP increase for every 10 degrees decrease in engine intake temperature. So if you have the standard underhood air filter and you can lower the engine temperature, you may be able to lower the ambient under-hood air temperature and therefore pick up a few ponies. Unfortunately, lowering the engine temperature by 20 degrees may not translate equally to lowering the intake air temperature, that's why Cold-Air intakes are so popular. In the case of the Sport Trac, I think the underhood temperatures are pretty high and using something that makes the coolant function more efficiently is always a good thing even it you don't feel the benefit in the seat of your pants. :D ...Rich [/QUOTE]
