The way you have the sensor I was thinking could also be affected by the plenum's own temperature, since the TB has the coolant running through it and the plenum sit atop the motor. I feel as though the reading you have is overly high for the true incoming air temp but rather the air temp prior to combustion heated by all radiant sources. Just a thought I guess, ultimately you are measuring new setup vs old any improvement would be nice.
Also forgot to mention, the first setup we tested on the dsm was with the box only, which did minor improvements, it is only when the headlight was removed that helped the engine air escape and the intake was actually sucking in colder outside air.

oh no I don't mean the sensor itself needs insulating, but rather the temp it's getting isnt the air that's entering but one heated by the radiant heat of the engine. If the tune is setup this way it's perfectly fine, since you are still comparing what you have currently to an updated setup. The box will definitely help in the long run.
Adam, I know originally you had said that you were going to fab a long tube CAI setup before the sealed airbox idea came up a few weeks ago. What was the logic behind that? Was your focus the IATs with that too, or was there something to gain with the longer piping in regards to fluid dynamics and how the air behaves traveling to the TB/IM, etc?
I feel like the CAIs have long been debated as to whether or not they make power and I was wondering if maybe a built motor (cams, compression, etc) is better setup for this type of intake.

finally got around to making more progress with the dash integration - just about complete!

next up, get the damn fuel level to display (we'll get back on that this week if time allows)+ get the oil temp sensor installed

that was a lot of reading, but well worth it. i hope to achieve something similiar engine wise, but not quite to that level and without all the extras. nice build, cool to see it go in different directions over time
