So heat soak is there. But when moving it goes away.

happen to have a link to said obd2 reader?

Here is the one I got. To use bluetooth OBD2 readers on the iPhone you need to jailbreak it. WiFi ones work but are much more expensive

Amazon.com: ELM327 Interface Bluetooth OBD2/EOBD Auto Scanner V1.4: Electronics

Only thing I don't like is that it is a little large and gets in the way a little in between your legs when installed (have to be careful not to hit it when getting in and out), so I ordered another low profile one. Should be here soon, I'll let you all know how it works!

I just ordered it the bluetooth obd adapter you linked. I'm going to try and talk my brother into jailbreaking his iPad or stealing an iPod touch until I know what I will do for an app solution. I'm planning on ordering the R2C intakes to start - that way we can see which short ram heat shield is more effective. I may be a couple weeks away from getting it done, but I will post back here and report my results.

In addition - I have just discovered that DashCommand is available on both Android and iOS. RAZR MAXX for the win. Now I'm officially excited.

I just got my slim ODB2 reader and it seems to work fine too. Might want to get one of those. $12 shipped and took about 8 days to get to me. Not bad.

@ZBro16 make sure you install roxyBT4 for it to work with iOS dervices. (enables true bluetooth)

So it was pretty hot yesterday about 88 and I got to test my intake and coolant temps when I arrived home from work. I drive about 45 minutes in moderate traffic and when I got to my driveway I let it sit for about 5 minutes to get some heatsoak! Off the charts! I only hit 220 on the engine oil temps...
