It would be simple to use something like the AEM kit. There's tons that are better but setting it up to come on at 10+lbs of boost is fairly simple. You would want to adjust the AFR under those conditions which would be tough to do without some sort of engine management. Maybe I'm wrong here but even the guys racing vettes are seeing IAT's above 160 under boost at the track(.8-.9bar) and no one is having an issue. It sure does help to reduce them at that extreme but considering someone earlier was saying 10-15 degrees above ambient is what he saw with the stock i/c I can't see the reason to change. Even the dyno's the companies produced showed it from 120 to 135 for the factory i/c. 135 is perfectly fine and that was on a dyno which is the worst condition of all. On the street it would be drastically improved. Again maybe I'm assuming highway driving but in stop and go driving since you're not able to beat on it anyway.. then what's problem? the taurus next to you wanna race? well you can't anyways since your in TRAFFIC. Where am I going wrong in my thoughts?
