I just installed a Whipple complete kit on my 2010 LS3 Camaro... now I see something interesting with the "low" intake air temps: My running/driving logged IAT's run about 15F above ambient.. but now I noticed this:
Over the last few weeks the car's been sitting at various temps for ~20+ hours inside my garage... and the garage temp is within 2 degrees of the coolant temp... and the ambient temp on the radio matches the coolant temp also within a degree or two.. and I see this right before I start the car:
Coolant Temp/Ambient Temp-----------IAT Temp
55f-----------------------------------39f (-16f) (41f = 4536 resistance in the cal info)
59f-----------------------------------43f (-16f)
72f-----------------------------------57f (-15f) (59f = 2976 resistance in the cal info)
So, is this an error, or is the cal off on purpose? I haven't taken the sensor out to verify with a thermocouple since it's hard to get too.. but i will at some point.
Anybody else see this? I cant imagine this is only seen on my setup but I guess anything's possible.
