I take off with it cold, and during cruise I like to set it up with about a ninety degree inlet temperature. You might think I'd be sacrificing some power, but if I am, it's fairly undectectable. What I lose in power I make up for in improved mixture distribution, as the EGTs come a lot closer together running carb heat, and the engine runs smoother with slightly better fuel consumption. It's pretty much a wash, but the improved power spread between cylinders is enough reason for me. To answer the original question, it's just too easy to hook up "real" carb heat not to do it. One way to do it is at http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/corvair/airbox/ .
