Just imagine what that table is going to look like...

Next vehicle is getting a heater core mod to the intake... using the variable flow valve that most vehicles have, you can control the IAT almost precisely, just like the heater in the car can be controlled, by a cable connection and a lever.

If you're really clever, you can control that valve with an Arduino and a stepper motor, with a temperature sensing circuit that will adjust according to a pre-set temperature specification.
