Is that while moving or after stop and go traffic?
Where is the IAT located in the FWI?

We pretty much have the exact same mods except cam vs rockers and i dont expect my IAT to be below 100 in the summer. Car off in the parking lot doesnt even see less than 100* when its 86 out down here.
I do have wrapped headers and im sure it helps. pretty easy to do just the crossover, but dont expect miracles for temp drop

stop n go/ cruising aroudn town. IAT is in the N* throttle body.

I plan on only wrapping the crossover section. Reading a lot of negative reviews about headwrap but i think they are talking about wrapping the headers/the entire engine exhaust sections.

I only want to insulate the crossover section to cut down on the roast happening below the throttle body. Combined with a shield mounted on the throttle body to futher protector and a will insulated intake air box in the fenderwell. That's my current plan. if I can get within 10% of ambient temps I would be happy. Is that even possible?
