I have the Volant with the ram air tube and I'm very happy with it...it was a bit pricey but it's of good quality and a nice looking CAI. I'm currently running my IAT sensor in the stock location in the MAF, but may eventually relocate it to the EGR block off in the intake.

 

Iat temps make a huge diff. if you have some tuning software such as hptuners you can see that many chevrolet trucks start pulling significant amounts of timing at about 95-100 degrees the timing amount pulled gets higher and higher with intake temps. In FL we see temps in the high 90s all the time

 

yep it pulled 12 degrees i wanna say
budhayes3 have you ever watched your IATs with that setup,what are they?
Dont mind payin if it fixes my issue

 

Unfortunately I don't have tuning software, and my scan tool doesn't display IAT's IIRC (haven't used it in a while so I can't remember lol). Sorry I don't have any help for you there

 

well damn

 

I got a cheap ebay cai, today i was watchin it in a fast food line since it was kinda cool today, 65* out and it got up to 95* while sitting and comes back down when u get moving obviously. Mine even touches the coolant hose a little so the tube gets a little warm, but thats after the maf. From what ive read the air moves thru so fast the actual air has no time to heat up, but your maf sure will. I would relocate the iat and call it a day unless u want to build or buy an absolute enclosed filter setup with iat inside i dont see it changin..

 

Not really!!
Hotter intake temps increases the burn rate,when the burn rate increases spark must be pulled.Unless you just zero out the IAT correction table like some do.Not good!!!!!

 

gonna make some changes,see what the out come is.
Maybe relocate the IAT sensor if i can get temp to drop
Wanted some input from others for ideas on the issue.

 

no way i would zero out that table,then i would be buyin a motor
I have noticed when it gets real hot take off more than half throttle you can hear some spark knock then pulls timing and no knock

 

Thats good,I personally would not.LOL
I would work on that though
Sounds like you got the hang of it pretty good!!
