Difference is due mainly to less restriction to air flow. However, it is also important to feed only cool air and not the engine's ambient air. Also, on hot afternoons, not much diff.
Even with all the heat shield to keep hot engine air at bay, it's not very heat proof. Channeling the cold air to it directly thru some ingenious pipework does help to some degree. IMO, not much improvement for so much mod.
