Yeah, I noticed this too. Additionally, if you allow the car to warm up while sitting still, you'll notice that the manifold, throttle body, and intake all get hot very quickly. Once you get some air flow through the engine bay, it cools the entire system down quite a bit.
I'm thinking harder about the IMG. I wonder if there is any type of wrap that you can use for the intake manifold and CAI (or maybe stick a little thermoelectric cooling pad down on the lower part of the intake
)
I'm only on my first tank, but I have noticed a drop in gas mileage . . . 27 mpg to 23, but this tank was mostly city, and I usually only bother to calculate on long trips. I'll keep an eye on it.
