If it were a heat soak issue as you suggested then all the intakes should show a similar temp, but they are drastically different. Also, if it were a soak issue it would mean Honda's sensor was useless.

From the Honda Si press release:
That explains it. Honda's temp sensor is useless.
Thanks for clearing that up!
