Some engine components require a consistent warm/hot temperature to operate properly. Possibly, a cover assists that. I know, late '60's & early '70's Formula 1 cars had the spark box within the intake manifold space for that reason.
In our newer vehicles, we have sensors & computer to adjust for temperatures.
But, as I live in Florida, I would rather remove my little cover to dissipate heat better. ( I am considering that)

Weight loss..... Lol
The bottle of water in the cupholder weighs more than that. Hell the cell phone in your pocket probably weighs more

Will do !!
Guess you missed the sarcasm in that statement...................BUT that in addition to removing a bunch of other useless stuff I have dropped almost 200 lbs of weight off of my PPV.
BTW, that engine cover weights probably 3 or 4 time what my cell does ....especially when you remove the mounting hardware off of the intake manifold

I caught the sarcasm......
Way back in the early off-shore powerboat days, I suggested my boss to reduce weight on his 36' Scarab, by making a carbon fiber version of his engine hatch covers. " He responded: " Hell, I'll just take the tool box out of the boat, considering the high cost"...... ( He is smarter than me)

It wouldn't be surprised if you were being serious. I've known people at the track that would remove their radio antenna or wiper arms just to try to make it a bit quicker. A 100lbs is worth a tenth and 1mph in the quarter.
My mustang runs 10's and I run it in street trim, not gutted. It has all the seats, sound deadener and padding under the carpet, stereo system with the amp and sub box with 2x12s in the trunk, etc.
