I recently successfully modified my ill fitted FRPP CAI on my 2018 GT to complete the new Performance Pack install . I never really paid attention to the IAT's before with the stock inlet system versus the new one.
In 88F degree heat with 90% humidity in slow traffic I observed a 24F degree delta between ambient and inlet temps. I did not do any long term idling, but I feel the temps would have kept climbing, where it might level out, I don't know. Once moving, the drop is rapid and it quickly settles down to a 7F - 9F degree delta as long as I am going 30 mph+.
On the interstate it runs between a 4F and 6F delta. I am thinking anything over a 30F delta in traffic may be a little to high. But again I did not do a baseline with the original inlet system.
Would like to know what the OEM inlet does in similar temps, or any other CAI for that matter, so input would be appreciated.
