No gain for sure. Loss is possible, given that you are located in Florida. The outside temperature plus the heat from the engine, the "CAI" would become "HAI" in minutes.
But if you like the sound and the placebo effect of having a "CAI", then that's all that matters. It's your money and your car, do whatever that pleases you...

Yeah, I'm in the Fort Lauderdale area and trust me, it's "Stanky" HOT and will get much worse during the next two months.

Yep, but regardless of where you are at, the big misconception is that it works in cold climates. NO, not really because its still relevant to ambient temperatures. If its 20F outside, why not suck in 20F air? Why do you want to suck in underhood temps? I lived in FL for a few months and the heat+humidity is killer.
