with all open air/cone intakes they may show an initial power gain when the engine is cool. But when the engine is hot, the cones draw the hot air from the engine bay. if you were to race another car, would you tell ask them to hold on until your engine cools down? wouldn't you want your engine to provide power when asked? why do you think manufacturers such as lamborghini, porsche, ferrari, bmw etc don't use a open air/cone intake?
the reason why all top sports car manufactures use an enclosed plastic air box is to draw in cool air, not hot air from the engine bay

Makes sense to me.
