[DeTomaso] Engine Bay Air Flow

At the risk of offending the more sensitive folks:

Cooling the gas without cooling the air is only 1/12.7 of the job.   
Cooling the air, I believe, gives more hp/degree.

Someone recently commentd about the purpose of NOS being to cool the  
intake charge.  While it DOES cool the intake charge some, I doubt  
that the "200" shot comes from cooling.  More likely all the oxygen!

Lastly, anyone know (no guessing allowed) if cooling the gasoline  
would change the fuel mixture?  In practice, that is.

Thanks,
