Five or ten degrees on the IAT inlet is trivial. The much bigger issue is the lack of airflow to the filter area at big horsepower levels. I actually removed the BG insulation strips from mine and gained nearly a full MPH on back to back runs at the strip. I’ll be coming up with something to get serious airflow to the filter this winter…the BG setup is a hold up at my power level. Again, at 700-800 WHP it’s not a problem, but as you approach and exceed 1K WHP, the BG needs help. Just my humble opinion of course.
100% agree.
