Talking Re: I did a study of inlet pipe insulation and SUPRISE

Its too late to start writing it up but the results were most illuminating and down right upsetting. My inlet air is running at 130 on a 92 degree day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is after insulating both pipes.

I believe the throttle bodies are being heated by the radiators air flow................ To move the probes to the inlet its self and see after the throttle body............... There is gold somewhere in this. Ill find it. Woody

Please not get confused as the inlet air temp is VERY different from IAT. Iam measuring the air going INTO the supercharger and recording the temps.

IAT is the temp after the supercharger and intercooler and measured BEFORE going into the intake manifolds.

I want cooler air going into the supercharger to raise the boost; by injesting denser air. 130 degrees is not it, and another suprise to me
