I thought that's what the OP was talking about - he never mentioned anything about cold air

I'm curious, however, of what the temperature rise is through a stock heat soaked intake system.... Most parts nowadays are plastic - so there's low heat transfer coefficients and thermal mass... Except for the manifold and TB - where airflow is really fast offering little time for heat up. I guess I'll add that to the list of experiments (maybe a good reason to upgrade multimeters to one that can accept a thermocouple )
