Ok guys I wrapped the whole CAI with this stuff:
http://store.summitracing.com/partde...0&autoview=sku
And it seems that the Air Intake temps went down about 10-20 degrees F. The out side temp was around 75 today, and the Intake temps was always around 85... Before the Intake temp would have been around 95-100...

Here's a pic of the wrapped CAI:

But I ran into a big problem after driving around for a couple hours today.
The heat wrap on the coolant hose and on the rubber 90 degree intake coupler started to melt off! The adhesive on the tape became really soft and the tape started to just fall off... However the rest of the tape on the tube stayed in place just fine... Hmm, I want to do something to keep the coolant hose from touching the intake.
