Gentlmen,

First off, before people go crazy with the “search the topic” response, i did a thorough search but couldnt find this topic in the same aspect of what i am about to ask.

I chose a ram air system on the fact that no studies were able to prove an actual cooler engine intake temp. On track running at 4500-7500 rpm for 20 minutes i am running an average of 85 degrees to 98 degrees. On street i see 68 - 72.

Has anyone actually seen there intake temp readings off an OBD reader or dyno while running actual cold air intakes? Im not looking for “my engine feels better” or purly non data proven answers. Just factual evidence that a cold air system actually is producing a serious diffrence in intake temp.

Im asking because the heat soak seems to be my biggist issue right now but i cant find any applications that can validate the upgrade will in fact produce lower intake tempretures.

Anyone with experience on the topic that can help me out, it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
