Well, I ended up getting an AEM short ram off of craigslist for $40 from a guy that was 3 block off my commute route (thank you BackroadBomber and RiderofBikes for the ebay suggestion, though!). Installed it in 10 minutes.
During the morning commute it seemed to take a bit longer for the intake temp to warm up, but it did get higher. It was about +15*F compared to yesterday with fairly similar ambient temps and I haven't ran the dryer tube to the exhaust manifold yet. The afternoon commute also saw a 15-20*F increase in temp.
As far a mpg increase goes I think that AeroModder has a point. I didn't see any immediate results in increased MPG this morning with the warmer intake temps. I'll have to run a few tanks though to see if I see an increase in over all MPG. (the problem with running experiments with so many darn variables—you have to compensate with mass amounts of data).
On the bright side I now have plenty of working room to add a complete WAI this winter without having to cut up any of the stock parts :-)
And thank you for the tip about Oil loss AeroModder. I will keep an eye on it!
Cheers!
