Well, Tbitz found a 7* drop in oil temps and a 15-35* drop in intake air temps when tooling around. If you do much tooling around in your car because it's a daily driver or you take it for cruises, then it might be worth it to you. Shoot, 7* is actually a fair amount in the grand scheme.

I believe that Jack discovered that on the track when the engine is constantly revving up and down and you are changing gears that he saw a minimal difference in intake air temps, and so on the track it seems not really worth it.
