just want to inform you, i see IATs 8 above ambient when moving(i have logs to back this up as well), sitting in traffic is the only time i heat soak and even then once i start moving it drops fast, one thing no one can measure with a dyno is the ram air effect, there are no dyno fans big enough and push enough air to make a difference, that holds true for both the stock box and short ram intakes
yes im an advocate for CAIs, yes if i was buying one i would bought a CAI, but compared to MAF tubes id buy ebay short rams for the extra $10(and some of them are actually the same price as MAF tubes)
heck for a little more you can convert those short rams into cold air intakes using some silicone couplers and pipes that can be bought for under $50 and still be under the cost for maf tubes and drop ins
seriously maf tubes and drop ins are a joke, id recommend drop ins for someone who wants to save money on filters but thats about it
if i had the time and patience to dig through 3 weeks of facebook posts and comments, id post that guys dyno just to show how useless they are when it comes to making power
