    my IATs are like 50 over ambient right now. I was thinking about wrapping just the crossover to try and keep the radiant heat from roasting my throttle body where my IAT sensor resides. Has anyone done this with good results?

    it makes no difference unless you have an amazing true cold air intake and an intercooler. the supercharger is going to heat the air up any.
