We regularly see temps 60+ degrees higher than ambient.

We measure/data log with the mass air flow meter that mounts just a couple of inches away from the round opening you see.

Use the gold foil? and the air intake temps drop.

The air box is just one part. We wrap the intake also (but this is not logged) so.. the mass airflow sensor is reading the air coming through the air box/snorkel.

The intake absorbs a LOT more heat do to the block being 6-8 inches below it.
