Post Maf Tubes & Drop-ins, worth it??

Red__Zed

Did you check interior temps on the tubes?

My new HPS post MAF tubes installed

This is from another thread where the internal temps had been measured...

Yup, I referred to this post somewhere back on page 4 before god knows what happened and we veered off into brake ducting and 5.0 hatred.

this is interesting... but from someone who has only 60 posts and i'm not sure how accurate his set-up is... I would still like to get more measurements.

Jordo!

That corroborates with what I've seen logged via Osirus uprev. 60 posts here doesn't mean he doesn't know about cars -- sounds like he has good datalogging devices on hand

You may be able to bring IAT's down some with additional shielding, but in practical terms the major benefit would be seen staging at the drag strip rather than on the road.

That said, if you are curious and want to tinker, the easiest solution might be to pick up a good OBDII datalogger cable that can be used with software on a PDA (e.g., the auterra) so that you can datalog changes in airtemps and get good estimates of mean temps with and without extra shielding over a range of circumstances.

no no, this was just a pop the hood and sort of feel around where I could feel the most heat... the passenger airbox most definitely gets hot with that radiator hose close/under it though... the drivers side was surprisingly much cooler, but like I said, this was most roads being 40-45 mph with little engine load. I did get on it on the highway a bit, but this is only about a mile stretch both ways and then it was back to another 10 minutes of the lower speeds. For being only 60 degrees and very windy, it was warm... on a 90 degree day with heavy engine load I can only imagine.
