Actually, if its anything like the N/A V6 version, it just REALLY loves cool air. We have found that the V6 likes to be nice and warmed up (usually producing slightly higher HP and TQ numbers on the 2nd and 3rd runs) but only if the air temps are cool as well. Otherwise, if it is hot out, or if the intake heat soaks the ECU will pull timing fast and power is killed.

With this engine, I'd imagine that it pulls timing and maybe even a little boost to help keep things cool and safe, and that will really hurt it power wise.
