Lol [QUOTE=djfury05;13334764]explain how an air lid would heat soak lol[/QUOTe
i suppose on a really hot day the under hood temps on a a solid hood vehicle could cause the lid to get hot and make the intake air temps higher than normal.... i think he meant it would raise the intake air temps ...
I kinda like the idea the plastic aftermarket ones crack pretty easy heat soaking would not be an issue with a meacham/transam style hood .. I overall like the idea plus he has them in 100mm

i actually ended up getting one on these for $20 it doesnt come with the couplers to install it though so guess im taking a trip to the store also the hose for the air isnt long enough to go into the and fit well

i got it from a guy on ebay i still havent got it installed yet but as of right now fitment is crap its sposed to be able to fit over the mass airflow but the opening is not perfectly round so it wont. ive got to take some measurments and head to the hardware store for some couplers when i get a chance

Yeah do the bags of ice,that will stop the airlid heat soak, are you freaking kidding me lol, wow ok , yeah if ya get one just carry a bag of ice around and whenever you stop just ice the lid down lol, I shouldn't even write that I'm sure someone wil try and ice down there plastic lid thinking there car will be faster,lmao
Even the plastic lids receive heat from the engine bay and
conduct it to the IAT sensor. Steel will increase the heat
conductivity relative to the air that's trying to set IAT
reading.
My experience with the SLP CAI (stainless) was also bad,
it raised temperature when added to my SS air path.
I don't expect WOT air temps would change hugely, but
you are at the mercy of IAT error and the tune, more
than the reality of incoming air temp.
I say walk away and don't look back.

The N2O bosses are kinda cool, but I'm not really a fan overall.
I guess if you were to polish it up, it could give your engine bay a unique look.
Since when is using a bag of ice to cool the intake components a faux pas?

If it's hot enough to heat the lid, the air itself detracts from power. . . If you're worried about the 'potential' of heat soak, just put a hole in your hood and run straight into the intake. It's a nice looking piece...
