I totally disagree and am surprised at the responses. Even if you remove heat created by the blower, the saturated heat of the unit makes it way into the outlet. I've found that these units get almost too hot to touch. Factor in compressing air adds heat, coupled with saturated heat from the unit equals less dense air. Lastly, our air-cooled engines don't need hot air being pushed into them!
That's why I say use a water-to-air IC so flow loss won't be a problem unlike a similarly packaged air-to-air.
I much rather have 5PSI or warm air than 7PSI of hot air.
