When thinking about engine air intakes remember that the hottest air is down near the pavement and cooler air is way up high.
There is a reason you see high snorkel style air intakes on old 18 wheel trucks. That high air has less dust and grit too.

The Ford Lightning had an air conditioned air intake several years ago that made more net horsepower despite the AC load, and reduced detonation.

I added a second PCV valve that sucked in air conditioner condensate drainage (47 degrees F) to a 1995 Magnum 5.9V8 and it reduced pinging on hot days.
This seemed to hurt MPG iin part throttle driving.

It is easy to add “bling” but harder to modify an air intake that adds true net power.

Spraying a mixture of 50% water/Methanol can have very noticeable effect.
