Based on the graph below, it seems that the CAI is not the place to attack the problem, but rather the throttle body is (at least the next) weak heat link...it should be kept cool during both runs and stops. What I see from this graph is that the CAI rapidly cools on take off, but that the throttle body stays hot on take-off and benefits only slightly from the CAI's cold air delivery. It would therefore seem that the throttle body is getting most of its heat from conduction from being bolted to the engine. This graph, if representative of what we are actually trying to test (and I think it is) shows that the main benefit of CAI and DCAI's is not cold air delivery so much as higher air flow.
