Metal elbows retain heat. I had a Vortech elbow on my 94 Z and the inlet temp would get stupid with that and the SLP CAI. So I switched to a 1LE and a K&N CAI and it was much better... Really the only thing the metal ones are good for is boost but I will say that the Vortech does straigten out the airflow into the TB

My Vortech one stays cool to the touch, even with my shitty heatsink of a CAI.

Not that I think it would help much, but did you do the TB Bypass?
