Yep OTS tunes are a bit hit and miss.
As member is concerned with warrenty I thinks a RSB ,RMM,FP internals will be a good start
As much as colder air equals more power (in theory), physically it doesn't make much noticeable difference (unless we are talking about a big temp difference). Wasn't there a debate of CAI and SRI, where someone proved that CAI doesn't make much noticeable difference, hence the conclusion that CAI's a waste of money over SRI.
If that's true, same will applied here, so if one do actually feel a noticeable physical difference in power with a few temp difference (assuming a non box would be at most 4-5 degree over amb), the gain would most likely be in the person's mind. Don't get me wrong, the gain would be there, but just not noticeably. *Note how i kept saying the word "noticeable"*
In any case, for me, it only shows slower rise of air temp, and not gaining lower temp than the lowest figure before.
When in doubt, power out....of control.
I certainly agree that a cai for the most part would be a waste of money over a Sri with box. It however would be an advantage if you had an SRI without a box.
I also agree that the difference wouldn't be large, and to an extent it can often be in the mind, (if you want to see an increase you'll make yourself see one) but I do believe there is a difference.
I was sceptical about how can just putting a box on the intake can make it cooler, but it does. Also it does have openings on the bottom of the box, getting air from below that's come in the lower front grill, and allows air to come in behind the headlights, but blocks air being sucked in from the side of the engine. This combined means that the intake air will be cooler.
Also, I've been taking data readings recently of ambient temperature, intake temperature and boosted air temperature. What I've found so far is from low to mid 20s (amb), bat is about 15-17c higher than iat but when amb (and hence iat) gets up to around 30 or so, then bat climbs to 25 or so above iat. (all these readings have been taken in the same spot of my logging road, same gear and same speed).
It kinda shows and backs up as @Rayd has always told me, getting IATs down helps and all the little bits add up.
That's my findings of what I've been recording and kinda is a bit of proof with evidence backing it up...

Comparing temps mean nothing most important is FMIC ability to shead heat at wot. AIT -wot
Your temps do seem high @GibbA
time for meth

Untuned with an intake is fine. If you are running a cork sport intake you will be fine.
The CS intake is a great bit of kit and makes it legal in most states here in aus. Temps are also much better.
Cork sport are now vendors so you can deal with them direct here and setup a group buy!
Hey LJeezy, did you end up running the Corksport Stage 2 SRI with stock FP? If so how did that go? I'm thinking of getting the intake but don't wanna purchase it and then realising later that i have to do an upgrade on FP.
Cheers,
