Just thought I'd report my numbers as I test. Unfortunately I haven't had much time to drive it and test it, but on my way to work today...15 minute drive
Ambient temp was 51 degrees, average speed was about 30 mph
Intake temp was 51 degrees until the last few minutes when it went as high as 53. I sat in the parking lot for about 8 minutes with it idling and watched the temp climb to as high as 69.
At first, I thought maybe heat soak was playing a roll in the higher temps at idle, but I noticed that the air under the fender where it draws air is very warm. So now I think the issue is entirely just that it's drawing warm air that is being heated up by the engine. Which isn't an issue when you're driving down the highway.
I'll bet with a snorkle, this wouldn't be an issue at all. So far, this really does seem to work.
More testing though. I want to see how it performs driving on the highway for hours at a time.
