Takeda ?

In general though, has anyone ever gotten an Intake temp reading using short ram intakes? I know for a fact that with my Stillen gen3 itakes, I usually see 7-8 degress above ambient temp while moving cruising on the highway. Seen using my Bullydog Gauge tuner thing..

Anyone measuring intake temps should have no business buying Short rams anyways, if you have the money to buy a Bullydog or any other tuner, you should've spent that money on CAI instead.... in other words I doubt it.

I do somewhat remember someone mentioning on this forum how theyre intake temps on an SRI (not sure if Takeda) would go up in traffic, but as soon as the car started driving at highway speeds, it would go back down and cool off quite quickly.

Yes I still have the Takeda AFE Filters and the Intake tubes so basically I can go back to a SRI from the Stock Box + Intake Tube setup. Cruising on the highway is not that bad about +12F over ambient and responsive as hell. Its traffic, slow driving, and summer heat that kills the SRI. It’s usually +15-20F over ambient when driving below 40mph (slow traffic).

But what is interesting is how quickly the temps drop when you hammer it from a stop light. I have seen it go from 130F IAT to 75F on a 60F day by the time I hit 80mph. Basically hammering it will vacuum (suck) out the hot air that has been sitting in the engine bay then as the car moves faster fresh air starts flow through the engine bay and baths the filters with cooler air.

Tonight is Track night for me. I have the SRI setup right now and am hoping to run high 12s with the new M370 Manifold. I want to see how a SRI does at the track I am still on the fence on which intake setup makes my Z faster. Next Wednesday I am going back to try the Stock Box + Intake Tube setup to compare.
