Default Ambient Temperature Research with Force Induction

After doing much research on ways to cool my TT 370z I thought I might share some findings. For starters I have the app Torque and have set it up to monitor several things on my car and one of them being the air intake temperature. My car is a touring with the sport package and a GTM Stage II TT. After logging and monitoring many trips in my car I noticed the ambient temperature and the air intake temps were right at 10% meaning what ever the outside air was the air intake temp would run 10% hotter. That being said I had an idea of trimming the plastic piece of the front bumper which is about 4 inches total in height so more air could be more effective of the intercooler. Doing that alone made a 5% difference from the ambient temps and the air intake temps. No biggie right..!! Recently I just went went a Vented carbon hood and did more logging and believe it or not my ambient temps are now the exact same is my air intake temps. I started this thread in hopes to helping others that might be looking at ways to cooling their FI z. Will post up pics today of the oem bumper trimming..
