That corroborates with what I've seen logged via Osirus uprev. 60 posts here doesn't mean he doesn't know about cars -- sounds like he has good datalogging devices on hand

You may be able to bring IAT's down some with additional shielding, but in practical terms the major benefit would be seen staging at the drag strip rather than on the road.

That said, if you are curious and want to tinker, the easiest solution might be to pick up a good OBDII datalogger cable that can be used with software on a PDA (e.g., the auterra) so that you can datalog changes in airtemps and get good estimates of mean temps with and without extra shielding over a range of circumstances.
