Default RE: 99 Ram Air Intake Temp Study

yes, interested in the results, you should also add in the data from the IAT sensor if you can collect it. A friend of mine has a Car Chip that collects whatever parameter you program it to. I looked at the IAT sensor and what I found was after about 5 minutes of driving, everything looses it's heat soak and the intake temps stabalize. I dont remember at what temp it was... :-( I still have the data at home (I think...[&:] )

one thing you dont have in your comments is how your going to simulate the heat shield for the K&N setup... any idea? One could be to go to Wally mart and get some poster board and make a shield that's close to the K&N's. I did this with a BMW 325 I had a couple of years back and it worked great until I was able to get my real shield delivered. One interesting note regarding the 325 stuff was that when the shield was gone, I lost power... low end & top end from the heat I was sucking in. JUST by adding a $1.00 piece of cardbord between the motor & the filter was night and day in the power.

Looking forward to your data...
