Yes Sir.
close to ambient? My tuner told me about 30* more then the outside temp. so 138 ish. Plus, I am missing a KEY part to this car....the air dam. Old owner took it off, so I just re-ordered a new one. Its at my parents house, so I'll be putting it on this weekend.
Your IAT's should be pretty close to ambient. You need to relocate your sensor no way it should ever be that high. I relocated mine right in front of the wiper fluid reservoir and a ton of my heat soak issues disappeared. No more lean idle after my car sits when I run in the store.

Why should it ever be 30 degrees more than the air the car is breathing? You are getting heat soak from the radiator and this is not the true temperature of the air going into your engine. If you look up on hptuners anything much above 100 degree IAT's it starts to pull timing. You're running n/a not a turbo or supercharger. If you want a more consistant car you need to relocate the IAT sensor to get a more accurate representation of the actual air going into the engine.

Since your IAT sensor is in your MAF I guess your tuner would just have to compensate for the higher temps. Oh ya dont unplug your IAT sensor or it will read -33 degrees and your car will not even run, or it will be really really rich. Trust me I tried it haha.
. Was dead even through 2nd, but failed hitting 3rd.

Yeah, the Nitto DR's hook up alot better for the auto cars than the stick cars. If AznMuscle is on the regular 555's and not even the drag radials then he should just run away from every dig challenge that comes up, haha.
I've gotten the Nittos to work ok with my car, but they are by far not optimal. Like PSM said, a set of MT drag radials will pick up most of the slack nicely

In that case I will give him the same advice I give everyone who doesn't have drag radials...Get drag radials.
Haha, seriously though, if he can swing the extra money from having to change rear tires more often, the MT's are lightyears ahead of the Nittos. If he drives the car a real lot (daily driver) then the Nittos are the obvious choice, though.

I know I know I know....and Joe Dirt...I'll be in SV this weekend. And No, I don't feel like loosing to the new tune. Though the 2nd text I got from Mike was saying he is putting my car in kill mode...I want another shot at the cobra, your car, and I want to run Wyatts.
