Default Re: Intake temperature?

I have 3 large holes cut in my blisters as a pattern to vent heat.

Other than seeing heat come out of there in the winter time my temps don't differ from others with 1st gen rt/tt's in any appreciable manner.

I think if the cold air wall truly isolates the intake away from the rest of the engine bay heat that should be a substantial difference, even better in combination with a aftermarket hood but no numbers yet. Just thinking out in the open.

Problem is hot air rises and then gets trapped under our hoods, at idle the heat from the radiator and the engine gets trapped more heat being produced than vented. I want to see some vented hoods and ram air style hoods come in this thread with numbers.
