So you fixed the problem that had you seeing 160 degree IATs?

yep, it was the filter i was using, i moved from a pod filter to a cone filter, i think it was because there was no opening in the top of the filter where the air gets rammed into it was left to suck in hot engine air

i did take the intakes off for a period of time but than randomly i decided to buy 2 cone style filters(specter air filters at orileys) and put the intakes back on, it made a world of difference

the most i have seen is 130 IATs and that was literally in dead stop for 30 mins cause CHP had shut down the highway temporarily cause of an accident(thankfully it wasnt long)

ill wait until summer to see what IATs are then but right now my IATs are the same as the stock box from what i logged and im extremely happy with the intakes, although i do plan on extending them using similar parts Synolimit(only difference is it being in bigger size) used so i can have a true cold air intake until i supercharge

and when did i post that? i can tell you that was months before i saw someone actually dyno that set up, hate to break it to you but people's opinions change and i feel that mod is stupid and a waste of money for a gain of 3whp over their a full FI Exhaust, at least now i do

also i dont have a log on that day, i dont run torque all the time but here is a log from DEC 26

the highest IAT i saw was 24C which is 75F and i saw as low as 57F(14C), not bad imo for something that sucks in 200+ engine bay temps all the time

you were driving 100mph at 2k RPM's and you're still not even at ambient temps? this is a really bad example.

thats 100kph or 60mph(was still fixing some of bugs with the app not uploading the proper measurements), at 100mph id be well above 3k in 6th

stock boxes dont get to ambient temps anyways, the most they are at are 8 above from what i saw from previous logs

like i said, im seeing the same data as stock boxes but the butt dyno says there is more power, i definitely noticed a difference in torque

http://www10.zippyshare.com/v/87060050/file.html
there is a log from the DEC 5, stock boxes and this was when it was close to 37 out iirc and the lowest i see is 11C(51F)

INTERESTING you say this as I too bought the spectre filter but it didn't fit my Ram Air Tubes because filter was too big....I'm curious to know how you fitted it?

what was your piping size? my intake piping size is 2.75in with it tapering down to 2.5in at the MAF, i bought a 3in filter but since it was only .25in off it fit just fine, no leaks or what not

if your intake piping is 2.5in or within .25in smaller of it, you want to get their 2.5in filter
