Maybe that huge aluminum air cleaner assembly trapped enough engine heat between the intake manifold and carb, to offset any benefit of potentially cooler air going into that "oven".
Well Rory mine runs just a little harder than your stuff in worse air in D-5 compared to the west or east coast. 3500-4500` air conditions here in July & August. Just have to keep trying stuff. I know a SS car that put his cold air on and picked the car up. What you should see is in the 330 times........
