And why is the SS not cooling down? Because it is not transfering that heat into the intake air going through the IC piping. If the heat stays in the pipe, it is not going into your nice cool intake air.
Ideally the upper IC pipe should be made of aluminum and wrapped with reflective and thermal insulation. That wouldn't work real great on a street car though. The insulation tends to deteriorate.
