Temperature in Engine compartment
I thought someone might be interested in this. I wired up temp sensors at the bumper, inside the air intake (stock) at the filter and on the strut well in the engine compartment to see how the temp varied. Result were:
Ambient temp 74 deg.
Cool Air at bumper 79
Fresh Air intake at filter 101
Engine compartment at strut 134
Ambient temp 74 deg.
Cool Air at bumper 79
Fresh Air intake at filter 101
Engine compartment at strut 134

BTW, when you idle, the heat at the filter box intake goes up rapidly, approaching the engine compartment temp. Most likely picking up heat from the radiator.
