There is some AIT research out there, but it's not condensed. I haven't double checked these numbers and am just going off my fairly poor memory, but my recollection is that G3s and cold air intakes with air filters not in the engine bay generally experience intake temps about 8-10 degrees above ambient air at speed. Stock intakes see around 10-12 degrees above ambient, and metal short rams without heat shields see upwards of a 15 degree temperature increase above ambient. These numbers increase when the car is hot and stops moving - the metal tube short ram temps skyrocket.
