IC Air intake temperature comparisons

Ok guys, just wondering what type of air intake temperatures you are seeing on your Power FC's (assuming you have one) and what type of intercooler are you running. By Air temp, I mean just cruising on the freeway doing 70-80mph not neccessarily full blasting.

For the record, I have a PFS race IC and I get about 25 degrees celsius on a cool day or usually low 30's

need alittle more info do draw any comparisons. what outside temp is the 25C taken? If it's in the stock position, the air temp sensor heat soaks and isn't worth much except on long drives like your talking about so that it doesn't heat soak as much. Doing like spoolin did and relocate it to the elbow helps with the heat soak issue.
