    @Bill Norton

    I thank you for taking the time to look at my profile and check out links but I created this thread and the title is short ram intake.

    I never talked about the fuel genie.
    I dont even have one installed yet...

    But please when replying to my threads please keep it related to the topic.

    If I had a penny for every time I had that thought on here, I’d be a millionaire!

    Sorry for getting off topic.
    I thought you were making this ^ claim about all the Gizmodics you listed in your signature.

    Simple misunderstanding....

    But then, why are you advertising for "Enhanced Air" if you are not using this amazing technology?(n)

    I was soley talking about my engines old and new and the OEM air filter system versus the new short ram intake.

    Just noting intake temp compared to the outside temp of 48F.

    The intake temp was an average of 15-20 degrees warmer and at a stop would get to 25 degrees warmer then it would cool down as I take off to being 15-20 degrees.

    Anyone with the stock intake and has an odb device and app to show intake temps mind testing theirs out and reporting back with outside temp and intake temp? 20230110_175811.jpeg

    For comparison I see around 60 + - F for intake air too. Keep in mind that is typically when ambient is below freezing, coolant temps are really wide due to engine on off so much and I see 40s F intake air temps after the car been sitting between 3 to 6 hours charging. My battery temps are typically around 10 F above ambient too, until it gets really cold below 20 F when the battery heater keep the temps a bit higher.

    Knowing where the sensors being monitored by the app are located makes a difference in how we read what's actually happening per cycles, but that needs confirmation / calibration from techstream, which I don't have. So I just calibrate dash and app readings and go from there. I really don't know exactly how accurate any of the actual readings are.

    Here’s mine, love the HPS intake I added heat shield on the back side. It dropped the Air Intake Temp by a lot!
