Default RE: 99 Ram Air Intake Temp Study

Quote:
you can see the filter getting heat soaked when it's idling... dropping power of course. It would be interesting to see the same data compared against the k&N kit...
If someone is willing to send me one I'll run the test report the data back to you. I'm looking for sponsorships to keep this going. Maybe even some coated headers to see if they help reduce heat, Hypertech tuner, a good looking blond to record the temperatures while I'm driving down the road.

Seriously though, the nice thing about the stock setup is that I can put the sensor right in front of the air filter and I don't have to worry about anything getting sucked into the motor. I would want to make sure the sensor is well secured if it is put inside the tube of your K&N tube, after the filter.
