I suppose that a lot depends on the location of your intake.
On my Maxima, I initially had the resonator dislocated, which put an air intake right behind the radiator. I was reading 120 degree F temps with that while moving. When I completely removed the snorkel and was sucking in pure under hood air, i was rading temps only 10 degrees more than ambient while moving. If I stopped though the temps quickly spiked. This is of course assuming the air intake sensor is accurate.
So far I've not experienced any pinging on the Maxima with WAI. The Villager with its much cruder engine, now that's another story.
