The rubber is an old bike tube. And the sheild is wedged between the radiator and one of the 10mm bolts that hold the fender on.
Thanks for the heads up on the mani'*. The sooner the better. i need $$.

Stop and go traffic will always get heat soak.
A good CAI is as good as a FWI system. the filter is just in the middle of the ducting instead of the end. But you need more insulation then just tape on plexi. I used relfectix.

I stopped being lazy and I moved the IAT sensor into the filter and checked out the temps via scan tool on my way to work today.
With abmient temps ranging 75-77* and average humidity around 88% the IAT sensor was only reading 80* at the highest. The sensor was actually reading 1 degree less than ambient according to my climate control on the highway.
I'll see how it does on the ride home in rush hour traffic.

Ok, going home it was about 96-97 degrees with about 60% humidity. In rush-hour traffic, the highest IAT sensor temp was 104.
Not too bad.
I guess it was the radient heat from the sheild that was giving me such high temps before.
