I had seen that article but that is a different location(before filter and not directly attached to the main tubing) and slightly different sensor than what you used. I am looking into this mod like the concept but some quick compares with a obd sensor would seal it.

Seems like a good investment then,can this be thrown together on a stock car/ecu setup or does it need a tune?
Mainly because the IAT sensor talks about a different ecu setup on that page.

I think that that article provided the Omega thermistor impedance table just in case your particular ECU lookup table needed to be corrected. I did not utilize the Omega thermistor, because the one in the kit I purchased already is a GM-sanctioned upgrade from stock. I judged the minor, additional increase in IAT sensor responsiveness not worth the uncertainty regarding temperature accuracy.

Ahhh okay,so if i did the relocate on my stock ecu I shouldnt have an issue then?
Im planning on doing long tubes,exhaust and a tune in the near future,but I would like to get this out of the way before the tune as well.
I like your IAT setup,looks great!

I just wanted to jump in and say thanks to Fuzzy, va mike and others for the info on here. While tuning my car for my recent cam install, my tuner also noted the IAT sensor was getting massive heatsoak, so I just purchased the parts for the IAT relocate, as identified in this thread. I went with the following from Summit:
Casper electronics wiring harness: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/cei-108136
IAT sensor for a 98 Camaro: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/smp-ax32
Just like VA mike, I plan to zip tie this badboy somewhere in the airbox.

Reviving an old tread...someone shoot me...
Fuzzy, can you re-post the pictures of your setup with this? When we tuned my car we realized the MAF was giving a steady reading of -40* F, but reading flows right. Going to go ahead and give this a try instead of spending the cash for a new MAF.

I've since thrown away the Lingenfelter intake in favor of my own design, which involves cutting a 4.0" diameter hole for an AMSOIL EAAU6080, pre-filter, and Spectre velocity stack in the wheel well.
But the short answer is that this is a very simple mod. All you have to do is buy the right three parts, drill a hole in a flat spot either in the filter or in the intake tube, poke the sensor in there, and use the 3/8" bung to fasten it.
- The Casper IAT breakout harness hooks into the stock connector, the MAF, and the external open-air sensor. It's wired such that the MAF temperature sensor is bypassed and the external sensor is read by the ECU.
- The GM open-air IAT sensor has less thermal mass than the closed sensor design, so it responds faster. They sell it with and without an extra connector that you can wire; you don't need it, but I think it's worth the extra $2 to have it just in case you need it for some other project later.
- The 3/8" stainless bung mates with the threads on the GM IAT sensor. They also sell it in aluminum, but I prefer stainless. I'd buy at least two of these, because if you experiment with intakes, you'll eventually want another one.

Thanks man. That picture is good enough for me. I was just curious as to where exactly you set it up. Got the parts ordered and will plan on doing this mod next weekend if they all show up in time.

If you have the Lingenfelter intake, I suggest you drill the hole for the sensor as far toward the outside of the filter as possible. I put mine right in the center, and the plastic electrical connection (the part sticking out from the brass wrench end) was jammed tight against the plastic isolating "bucket" that separates hot engine air from the colder air the filter can draw from.
