So I got my Ultragauge finally (and I love it) and have been playing around with making a warm air intake. After trying about 4 different designs and not getting anywhere I finally got the ball rolling. The first 3 designs i couldn't get the IAT over 120 deg. Finally success....got the IAT up to around 150 deg. (I stole the design from a metro website but don't tell anyone) Took the wife to school and noticed a huge difference. Of course the power is down but who cares. Idle gph dropped as well from around .19 to i even saw a .15 but mostly .16 to .17 when totally warm. Next step some ABA testing but might be awhile.
