Your intake air temp is at the MAF this means very little since you should be reading IAT2 inside the blower. This is why you are seeing it climb from 73 to 111 at a set of lights....IAT2 wont be fluctuating so dramatically and the MAF IAT1 has very little input anyway.

If you had a Forced Induction Interchiller you will be well below ambient temps

Damn. You guys in Australia have stuff we don't here. Does that make the Blower track friendly now. Can you track your car for 30 min sessions?

You are very right. I heat wrapped my Airaid intake with 2 layers of wrap, then used the reflective shield. With the lid I made for the intake filter box my car runs at ambient while driving or in traffic in the Boston Ma even in the tunnel. Wrapping is better than the ceramic coating.

I'm glad it worked out for you, and that interchiller is wicked

Did you buy 15' or 25' of the tape? I would think 2"x15' would be more than enough but car isn't i. Garage to verify

Excellent point, I was wondering about that, but I don't know enough about that setup to make an educated statement about it.

Any questions just ask

Update- helps while driving definitely. Helps keep the ambient temp from going crazy.

But I have noticed it traps in the heat over night. Which I'm not concerned about that much. That ceramic coated tube isn't going to wear. Maybe a lesser cheap intake it would add wear to it. But as soon as it starts sucking air through at startup/car gets moving temps immediately go down
