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

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?

Natural Aspirations

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
