stock Gen-2 intake temps

[Ron Lanza]

Can anyone tell me what the inlet temp is on the stock Gen-2 intake? I recently added an injen cold air intake and didn't bother to check the temps before the install. I did not know you could see the inlet temp under measurements. I know the temp is always changing depending on you speed. On a 90* day when running around 60mph my inlet temp is around 8 to 10 degrees higher the the ambient temp. I just want to know what the temp. difference was when stock without reinstalling the stock airbox. If anyone can help me out by checking your measurements from your dash on a 90* day I would appreciate it.

Going out later to test my new Goosetuned tune...i'll try to remember to get this data!

Supposed to be 96F today.

wouldn’t it be more beneficial to monitor intercooler temps

You went from one cold air intake to another. Your IAT"s most likely are going to be the same. I believe its been documented that a aftermarket CAI doesn't do much on the Second gen raptor. Your intercooler is where your best mod is to be had.

@Ron Lanza I have to agree with @Dustan on this. I would think Intercooler temps are more beneficial.

Regardless, to answer your question, at 94F ambient air temp with the stock airbox I saw temps ranging from 104F to 120F on windy roads and "spirited" driving. Speeds ranging from 20mph (higher temps) up to ~70+ (cooler temps).

I installed a CAI not an intercooler. Besides there is no readout in the dash that shows intercooler temps... Your answer makes no sense !!

Thanks for your help. I think the temps are pretty close, stock vs CAI. At least it looks cooer !!!

Your probably correct, but when I get on it I swear it feels more responsive then it did with the stock airbox ??
Maybe it's just my mind trying to convince me I didn't just waist $400.00 on a CAI......

There is , It is " Manifold Charge Temp" under the measurements screen , This is air temp out of intercooler to the intake manifold. The cooler the better

I’m sorry I guess I should’ve just gotten to the point and said your wasting your money and someone’s time.
