you dont have to worry about these 19 and 2300's...the IAT's stay in check with these units unlike the radix 112's....put it on..get it tuned by someone good and dont look back.

Agreed...iv scanned my intake temps in different occasions and they seem to be pretty constant...regardless of the heat soaking the housing gets...plenty of articles that a few members here have written on the spacer they have made to lower their temps even more...pretty interesting stuff
