a thought occurred to me this morning and if you have a thermocouple you could put a 3 way T at at the reference point for the MAP and boost dump solenoid (if you have one). I would do it but until I can actually get my car into boost it'll have to wait. I probably have a bad knock sensor so when I get time I'll fix that. I do have a 2 channel thermocouple thermometer that reads and records min/max and shows differential as well.

Actually this has been done before, and there were write up's on it too. Yes, here... Not sure if I remember correctly but Reptile can chime in. Made a special set up for iat in the LIM? Was some time ago. Is cool to do and such, but worrying about a few degrees difference with intake pre-post SC is a waste of time imo... Might as well purchase the SNOUT cooler as well if you're looking to reduce temps. Get the fuel line cooler too... But all in all, you're still going to scan and still going to have to TUNE for dropped pulleys and MAX HP... Doesn't matter what iat is because you will adjust for it. The fueling, timing is where you're going to make the difference, not in 10-15* drop in temps. As for recording effects from different set up's... What you may want to do is just look at HP records and determine their setup and try and mimic it if you're looking for those levels of performance. Putting an ice block on a SC while dyno-ing doesn't count either, Lmao!

Bottom line is this... It's an old platform, and there aren't many NEW things that have been done.

Lastly, forget the plog unless going turbo, headers are best. Go 3" to the tails imo for best breathing but only benefits if opening the intake too, ie, GenV, N*, Stage* Heads, Cam, etc., in my most humble opinion...
