Default Eforce supercharger IAT sensor

I recently purchased an eforce charger for my ls7, and I was looking for the IAT sensor hole and worked out the IAT sensor is part of the MAP sensor, i pulled the MAP sensor out and looked at where the IAT is mounted, theres a 1 inch long tube drilled into the supercharger casting where the map/iat mount into to get there data, i havnt scanned it yet but the problem I can see with this is the IAT isnt mounted in the airstream, i think a better spot will be the intake runner just below the intercooler, the 1inch long tube where the iat gets its data would act like a pocket of hot, air no actul air flowing over the tip of the sensor.

Anybody ever moved the IAT to the intake runner so its in the airstream?

Pretty common for Gto guys
Omega thermistor fits in the hole on a maggie
Much faster acting than the factory iat sensor and a much better representation of what the engine is actually seeing.
The air in the blower is much hotter than the maf

The TMAP used in the eforce actually seemed to give realistic readings to me. It did heat soak when the car is turned off, but once started and air is moving, it gets back to realistic numbers fairly quickly. Its impossible to know if its 100% accurate, but knowing what I know about engines, its seemed pretty close to me.
