This means that unless its really hot outside, fudging the IAT sensor calibration is not going to do anything but possibly mess with your AFRs.

Ideally I'd like to do some data logging before doing any mod, since I can't access or adjust the timing tables in the PCM due to lack of support... Basically I thought of IAT as a workaround method of advancing the timing some more, which would help both power/torque and mileage at constant speed..
