Default air filter direct to MAF?

Idt the power wire is a very good idea, but i dont no much about it. I made one for my truck but hessitated to put it on so i just stuck with my gut and didnt put it on. I think it makes the engine run too lean

I have relocated my Air Temp Sensor into the frame away from the engine bay. Your MAP sensor is mounted at the bottom of the intake manifold and above the water temp sensor.

Is it wise to put the sensor somewhere where it wont read the correct air temp? Isn't that the point of the sensor??

Relocating it is pointless. It can only cause more harm then good. Why would you want to put it somewhere where it will get a "colder" reading then what the actual air temperature is??

Its the same concept of the power wire i guess... I dont like the idea but other people say they have no problem with the power wire.
