I think the temp change as well as reaction time you could achieve with a
heater would not be good.  Besides, why consume lots of electricity if you can
achieve finer tuning and quick reaction by turning a knob on the panel to
inject more or less fuel at the TB?
I'm wide awake now.  I really think this is doable ... Jim S.

Yes indeed. Sometimes they're so loud he wakes himself up. :)

But, rather than trying to control temp with evaporation, why not simply
install a thermostatically controlled electric heater element in (or
against) the manifold. Hot day, low down, it's off. Cold day, high up it's
on full. Want the EDDIE at a lower rpm today? Turn the thermostat up (or
down).
