Navy horn your comments prove that have no clue as what in accutality takes place when a air and fuel charge injested into a cylinder gets ignited and the burn / flame front starts to expand.
The level of heat that is produced when the flame front starts is the sourse of power!
When steam locomotive engines where able to get away from the old slide valves they used and go to poppet valves engineers then found they where able to do / apply what they called super heating.
This is where they send the 400 degree steam back thru the boiler again and bring its temperature up to near 700 degrees, this in turn allowed a given volume of steam to do more and more work equals more power, and it's the same dam thing as it relates to the burn rate in a combustion engine cylinder!
Yes you need to injest the coldest air and fuel possible into a combustion engine cylinder, but at that point of ignition things change over to a whole other set of factors!
And if we are talking about maxing out power then emissions and CAFE standards needs to stay out of the picture.
