My tank is the windshield washer tank so the methanol itself is plenty heat soaked, the temps I am seeing should be relevant to the air itself. I know while tuning the top of the intake would be 80ish degrees when touched by hand (and hot prior)

That is in an effort to create a fast responding Fail safe.
There is no questing of the fact that the evaporation creates a cooling effect.
What I want to see is the end result as far from the meth nozzle as possible.
What are Cylinders 7-8 seeing for actual IAT.
If you spray liquid on a hot sensor you will quickly evaporate the liquid causing a false reading.
