Jody,

Do you have an opinion on how much an intake manifold will color the findings of an air charge temp sensor? My ACT sesor lives in my Edelbrock aluminum intake, and it seems that the intake would warm the sensor. I assume this is the reason why later systems seem to have the ACT sensor upstream in the plastic / rubber air intake tube.

I've seen some people who simply move the ACT forward and out of the intake, but I believe the ECM should know the temp as close to the combustion chamber as possible to correctly maintiain the right tune.

My procedure will be to install the cold air systme but leave the ACT in the manifold and log some data to see what happens.
