SOTP was used long before people learned to race dyno numbers. With any forward motion there is no "hot air". A dyno can't demonstrate how a CAI or any induction will work in the real world. Now to bumper to bumper traffic and hot air induction, say the air is 30 degrees more, I doubt it as ANY forward progress brings new air into the box which sits at the very front of the engine compartment. But lets us 30 degrees hotter so 110 degrees vs 80 for a CAI. But wait the gas law as based on absolute zero so that is 600 degrees vs 570 degrees or 5% less air mass. IMO there is no possible way a human can judge that. Considering we are talking bumper to bumper traffic and the throttle body is only open mabye 5 to degrees i.e. restricting say 90% of the air flow. 5% of 5 degrees is so miniscule a human can't feel or judge it.

but back to you, what cai are you running and what data do you have to show a 50 degree change with normal travel down the road even stop and go? Just wondering where the 50 degree hotter number comes from. My slot as Parish has posted is on the edge above the wheel liner. I have used two CAI and have seen most.
