I was just going to add that.
He's got a big heavy cargo van he uses for towing and has results that look to be remarkable.
I'll give him the heads up here.
Maybe some good will come out of it.

Me too.
I read the subject line as TBI rather than TPI. If it actually was TBI then it might have helped the same way is does with a carb re wet manifold and all. The other reason I’m thinking hot air would help part throttle economy even with good injectors is because hot air is less dense so you need a wider throttle opening, so that means less vacuum and consequently lower pumping losses.

I just had a conversation with Fast355. Seems he has had some discussion with the OP but nothing ever came of it.
I use it as the acronym for Original Poster.
