Thread: Is your IAT sensor hurting performance? Find out here!

I'm suprised most of you still have IATs.

I say screw em get rid of them and use a happy knob (connect to your original IAT harness) and be able to adjust timing anytime anywhere. Any vendor out there can put in the proper tables, or if you have a tuner you can set it up yourself. Its a very nice mod, sure beat lugging a laptop around everywhere.

IS the IAT really that slow? When scanning from a dead stop, my IAT's start dropping immediately and are ambient with in seconds.

And I think that is the point, seconds. Precious seconds. Seconds while you are trying to make your way to the big end of the track. Normal everyday street driving, probably not a major issue, though the more accurate and responsive the sensors are, the better all the way around the engine will operate in general.

Since timing is tied to IAT's I would think any improvement in responsiveness is a good thing in just about any situation.

EXACTLY! Its all about the smalll steps. Its like th old question, would you rather have a million dollars now or a penny that doubles everyday for 30 days.

Sometimes you can eek out those larger than expected or normal gains, but for the most part, doing the little things step by step that turn into a big picture from the cumulative effect.

Isn't there a faster IAT for the GP's available? I know I've seen a write-up somewhere on this. Although when I did a cross-reference mine was the fast one, so I don't know. IIRC this write-up was on a GTO forum.
