I often wonder if our intakes were Plastic (since metal acts as a bad heat soak) how much that would effect the IAT's.? Referring to the entire tube from the throttle body passing through the engine area to the intercooler.. It is possible because most cars now have plastic intake runners just for the heat soak..
