My water/alcohol injection pushes 10gph into the throttle body and down to the block. Where the trouble lies, is something called "Hydrolocking" That is when you get more water in the cylinder than the rod/piston can handle. Since water doesn't compress nasty things happen.
He never really claimed it was a CAI. And its not. Its just a short ram, and it will flow better than a stock box, but it will just suck up hot air like everyone has said. increased volume will still help though.
Even where the filters are though, there should be no problem getting some cool air there. When the fan kicks in, the filters are right in its path of air. Cant be much worse than one that hangs off to the side as there isnt much movement over there either, its just not in direct heat. In the summer, it wouldnt make much difference.
