intake question

Ok so i reading on one of the other forums im on not gonna name names but yeah. So i read that instead of doing any kind of air box mods you could insulated the intake hoses to protect the air from heating up. really a great idea i thought. and there was a great link showing the test results. http://www.performanceunlimited.com/...g/airtemp.html

so i was wondering what you guys idea was on this? and what type of insulation should i probably use?

My prediction is minimal gains if any at all. Be interesting to see how those test results translate into HP gains.
