true, only real way to find out is to do back to back dyno's on the same day with the same temperature. But I think people blow "heat soak" out of proportion sometimes. Even so, you wouldn't be able to notice the 2-3 hp loss due to it (if that). Keep in mind though, with the BMS intake, it still utilizes the "cold air" drawn from the bottom part of the stock air box.
