Here is a graph comparing the manifold intake temps to the MAF intake temps during a 3rd gear pull. Ambient temp was in the low 70's. The sensors were calibrated correctly and read identical when the car is off and fully cool. |
Great results! My car with the GM AIT in aluminum piping, hot engine bay, are rising 20-30 over ambient. I really want to get another AIT in the engine bay just to monitor those temps.
My intercooler setup is more for consistency in cooling run to run and minimize pressure drop, not the ultimate in cooling.
