Although the IAT wasn't getting above about 50c climbing mountains at low-ish speeds around where I live, on a 4-hour drive it hit 70c after close to 15 minutes of WoT climbing at ~70mph! That's a bit warm, I think!

Put the stock resonator back on, and left the T section (cold air intake?) attached for now. Under normal driving conditions I'm still seeing the IAT settle around 40c, but it's not getting nearly as warm while climbing a mountain. I'll continue to tinker as the weather changes, though, as ~100-120F IAT is a moving target.
