Without baselines and measurements, however - it's unwise to assume air will be 'colder' (as in, colder than what?) no matter the source.

I've watched the intake temp on my Superchips tuner with my K&N intake. When I am moving the temp is within a couple of degrees of the ambient air temp on the dash display. When stopped it does creep up. How high it gets all depends on how long I'm stopped.

Cold Air intake comes through the fender, just as Ford designers/engineers intended. So, even with the Gotts mod, to get any gain, and it will be minimal, you would have to set aside the grommet in the fender, enlarge that hole with a larger tube. But one thing I've learned, depending on where you live, is to put some sort of a screen mesh in this hole. In the winter, my local chipmunk population is always looking for a warm place to hang out. When I replace the air filter, I find quit a collection of achornes, seeds etc. Luckily, the way the airbox was designed, they aren't ingested into the engine.
They somehow climb on top of the front wheel, jump in the hole and travel through the tube into the airbox. Probably frightened out of it everytime I come back and start her up. Always have enough time to horde their food supply there.
