relocate IAT sensor?
How many of you guy's/gal's have relocated your IAT sensor right by the TB or right in the intake after the TB? Doe's it seem to help much on a N/A application? I have seen different stuff over on HPT forum's that say relocating the sensor and good tuning on the cylinder charge temp can drastically improve performance when running in warmer conditions...any insight on this from people who have seen this first hand?

I just don't see how that is safe.....When your IAT's get too high you get pinging etc.. So how are you going to prevent that by lying to the motor about how hot it really is?

your MAF get's heat soaked and lies about intake temp, if you relocated the IAT sensor you would think it would be more accurate to the actual air quality the motor is using
