What ambient air temperature is that assuming? I thought that made a big difference...

In other words you sound like you really know what you're talking about as usual, but from what you're saying it sounds like there's very little point. With people reporting 200+ degree improvements to their EGT levels, I'd like to believe I would see those kind of results!!
