This supports Scrming's quiry about mounting the temp sensor outside of the flow tube. If the sensor notes a colder - more dense - ambient temp, the ECU / car performs better.
'Within an allowable spec' does not mean a predetermined power level does it ? In other words, the ECU has a set target torque / power rating and therefore based on sensor inputs, compensations or adjustments will be made to maintain a set performance level ?
I agree completely that Airaid's system provides increased air flow, function and fit very well - first hand testimonial, have had the system installed approx. 2 weeks now. Additionally, based on Airaids testing, the system also satisfies required parameters for the ECU sensors, since the ENGINE light does not remain on after installation. But again, is the ECU returning performance to a set level, to maintain a burn level the ECU 'wants' ? May be more a Chevy question than Airaid I suppose.
Dave, thank you for posting. Your attention to customer detail and inquiries only make me more satisfied that I purchased an Airaid system.

Hello
calflan,
That is correct; you do not need to pull the 5 and 20 fuses. If installed properly, there should not be a CEL.
WE do no recommend relocating the IAT sensor. All that is going to do is “Trick” the computer, which could end up with timing issues and other problems down the road. The Airaid is a true cold air intake system and pulls true cold air and that is what the IAT temp sensor is reading.
Thanks,
David
