Default iat placement ?

I am running about 13psi with a maf setup with meth spraying after the maf. I have a iat sensor and was thinking about installing it after the meth nozzle. Just doing away with the iat in the maf. Is this a good or bad idea? I feel like im not getting the full benifit of the meth the way I have it. Opinions wanted, thanks Nick..

I do believe you want the IAT as close to the intake as possible, and after any meth/N20 that way your reading the cooling effects.

Im runnin a MSD IAT sensor in the EGR port on the intake manifold.
Id get the IAT as close to the throttle body as possible.

Which sensor do you have?

Same here, I tapped the Mani where the egr would be on older trucks. I had to pack it with some puddy though. Wifey blew it out on the track. After I packed it it's been good to go.
