With the stock Intake this summer

when towing 10-15K my Intake air temp is about 38-50 deg over ambient

this summer my Intake air temp is about 140 deg and has been as high as a 150 deg

what has everyone else seen?

Hi,

I have the Banks system with the scoop and the plate removed.

When my truck is stopped the temp is several degrees over my mirror, but once I'm moving it drops fast how close it gets to my mirror depends on how steady and how fast I'm moving. At freeway speed my IQ says I am within a degree of my mirror temp most of the time.

It's too bad my truck doesn't make 500 horse power or 30 to 50 degrees cooler intake temp might help....oh well

About 10-15 deg over the mirror. I've relocated my mirror sensor to the fender liner though so it's more accurate.

I've seen as high as 173* in stop n' go traffic.:eek: That's usually in 108-110 degree ambient.

Cruising I'm usually 2-10 over without A/C, 15-30 with A/C.

sounds like the banks intake gives a good drop in temperature over stock.
