I think you mean ABOVE ambient...Easy mistake unless you have a refrigerated intake system going there!

On IAT's this may be interesting..

Zpirate just got a new 370 and swapped his Scangauge over from his 350. IAT's wit the stock box running approx 10-12 degrees over ambient when rolling

Some data on the Takeda (typical open element) had the owner reporting 20-25 over ambient.

Stillen G3's report 5-10 degrees over ambient.

My custom intake with fang vents are showing about the same 5-10 over

Typical open elements can and will spike to 150 degrees on a warm day in traffic. Fang vents pull those temps down very quickly though.

A stock system with Fang Vents would probably be an excellent combination

I think the best we can reasonably expect to see is around 5 degrees over.. Unfortunately we have no information that would tell us at what temps the car starts pulling timing..
I really think filtration has little to do with power made. A LARGE part of it is done with MAF tube tricks and general flow improvements.
