Intake temps..hot weather
I live in south Texas and it is hot as hell here. I was wondering what kind of intake temps people see. Also how much power can be gained by cooling? Is it possible to get close to ambient temp using aftermarket IC?
My intake temps are roasting around 80 C during the day. No problems with driving though. I keep waiting for it to explode!

Well I'm assuming the temp is accurate. It's coming off my Apexi FC commander. The
IC is stock. At night here it is still around 90 F so it is hot. I am going to be doing a larger v mount and new radiator setup with a vented hood so I am hoping it drops the temps WAY down. That's why I am curious if anyone knows what kind of difference it makes. Is it really worth a large expense?
