Not entirely sure, but it seems I read on here somewhere that there's an "optimum" intake temperature (for that person, at least), and I'm thinking it was like 90 to 115 deg. F. I'm pretty sure you don't want the intake air to get
TOO hot - detonation problems, etc. And I'm guessing air right off the exhaust manifold could easily get to 300 degrees F or more, which would probably be too hot.
Now, it could just be permanently positioned far enough away that it doesn't get that hot, but my thought is for fast warmup, have it so it can really snuggle up close at first, then be backed away. I would watch the "intake air temp." on the ScanGauge & move it away once it hits - whatever - 115, or??
Probably do some "A-B-A testing" to fine-tune it. . . .
