Dodge Magnum Modifications - Intake Tests 1.

For this test the sensor was placed at the top of the filter element to put it at the furthest place away from ambient incoming air; essentially a worst-case placement in terms of high temps.

Only a few hundred yards from home at 20mph the temp has dropped from 126 at a standstill to 112 already. The air conditioning is on in the car and the lower digital reading is cabin temp.

About 2 miles at a steady 40 mph. No effective temp drop unless you count the cabin interior.

Now on the freeway. Cruise control at 75 for several miles. Temp settles over about 10 miles to roughly 5 degrees above ambient.

Turnaround and head back. High point after acceleration.

On cruise at 55 for several miles. Temp settles 8 degrees above ambient.

Coast down and get off the freeway. Offramp leads straight to a non-stop 40mph zone that lasts 2 miles. Temp settles 4 degrees above ambient at this low speed. A/C was turned OFF just before this pic was taken.

Now lets do some slow speed driving. Pick a crowded street and hit every light. Right after the highway we hit the firstlight. POW. With no air coming in the bay temp skyrockets.

Crawl in heavy traffic at 30-35 miles per hour to the next light and stop dead. But temp is down 26 degrees. I turned the fans on manually on at the previous light and it has had a dramatic effect in one block.

This is the next light. Still crawling and temp has still dropped five more degrees. A moment later, still stopped, temp has gone down AGAIN... which should never happen but does thanks to the fans.
