intercooler intake pipe wraped. Any advice will help

What exactly are you using to wrap your intercooler piping? What radiator set up are you using?

 

thermo heat wrap 2 x 1/8 black

 

stock rad and fan, buddy l fan switch 176* and Gate race termostat

 

You can relocate your IAT sensor to the upper IC pipe, but it's nothing to be concerned with.

 

yes i know, i leave it in the intake mani. But have the heath wrap in the intake pipe help?

 

No, wrapping the upper pipe will not make a significant difference in traffic. The heat is coming from the coolant running through the manifold. You can try using a hondata type thermal gasket.

 

whats the concern? if youre in traffic, you won't need cooler air anyway. youre not making power @ idle
