If so, then it must be because of air restriction. the IAT temps are not higher in an absolute sense from temps I have seen for years. Today was still a little under 130 degrees. I have seen 145+ with previous WAI configurations. But those were bigger diameter tubing. This is the first that is more restrictive than stock. But even if it is the WAI... why take weeks for a problem to form. Wouldn't the engine react quite quickly?
