My posts are asking what it will do at the track. That is all. It cannot be tested, unless you are on a track. If you want to be really really technical, if you look at that scan I posted, my IATs went UP at WOT. Will everyones, maybe, maybe not. It is unclear. My whole thing is that it needs to be proven at a track. Intense had to do it, ZZP had to do it. Others that have had ideas had to do it.

That is all. Im not knocking him for trying. The test results were very good. In my eyes, all I see is something that COULD add to the headache at the track. That is my opinion. Something everyone has. Prove it wrong now.

I'm with Fish here and as for me I will not feel bad for enjoying this thread despite Scotty's novel

For the IC'd guys. I assume the IAT is useless, Yes? When GM made the calculations for the IAT and the timing it would pull above certain temps, they were assuming X temp at the IAT (which by the way would be way more accurate in the LIM if engineered that way and calculations figured accordingly) + the 275 to 300* that the s/c raises the incoming temps would equal the actual intake temps. Now if you add an IC that drops the outlet temps 100*, how can the IAT be of any real help, other than to use it with a happy knob or timing commander and monitoring your KR along with timing advance.
I still maintain that colder air in makes the car run better regardless of the IAT.

For the non IC's guys, do your temps really fall into the range where the IAT temps would trigger a change in timing?
