Randall Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I just recently installed a heat shield so that would not be the case in my situation as the heat shield protects the manifold from radiant heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six_Shooter Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I have an open element GM MAT sensor installed in the location of the cold start injector. My intake temps change very quickly with throttle changes, so I can't see how there could be any heat soak issues with this sensor, or location. Pre intercooler, my intake temps always stayed above 100*F, and would heat up from there due to heat created from compressing the air. After adding my intercooler, which seems to be quite effecient, my intake temps regularly drop down to the low 90's high 80's with quick blips of the throttle, a littel lower if I stay into the pedal a little longer. Many times I get very close to ambient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
