IAT Sensor Placment In A CAI

I put this together yesterday but was wondering if it matters where I place the IAT sensor? I was just going to see where the stock plug would reach and place it somewhere around there. Not opposed to extending the IAT harness to move it somewhere else if it beneficial.

I agree. IAT seems to be used in a few airflow and spark tables. i guess there are ways around it though.
On a side note, I do wonder sometimes why the IAT wasn't just placed in the intake manifold rather than putting it before the TB and using (273.15+IAT+((ECT-IAT)*factor)) to calculate actual air temp in inside the intake manifold.

So what your saying is that in 60-70° weather my car was actually injesting 130°+ air. IAT relocations have worked for several people with 0 il effects. I'll stick with heat soaked sensor being the culprit in my case
