Re: Cool air intakes, versus COLD air intakes
I use the stock intake and just for interest I ran a non contact thermometer over the engine bay after a long run. It sat for a minute while I fetched the thermometer.
The center of the air box was 170+ degrees and the area over the filters was 150+, the battery was 130.
The water pump housing hit 180+, but I expected that.
That battery gets really hot and that's not good, heat is a destroyer of batteries.
