I think like most of us running meth have the nozzle installed on the UICP.

I am planning to install the AIT sensor in the intake manifold as SHOWN HERE.

Paul pointed out that "another location sometimes suggested is the intake manifold. This location can result in the sensor reading incorrectly due to the heat of the intake manifold. During high-boost and high-RPM operation the flow rate through the intake manifold is high enough that the intake manifold will not significantly heat the charge. If the intake manifold does have a significant amount of heat stored in it it could artificially raise the temperature reading beyond the actual charge temperature."

In order to mitigate this issue, I ordered a P2R Thermal Intake Manifold Gasket.

"P2R Thermal Intake Manifold Gaskets will help reduce intake air temperatures by removing the direct connection of the intake manifold to the cylinder head. Made out of our proprietary heat dissipating material the P2R thermal intake gasket creates a thermal barrier that isolates power-robbing heat from traveling to your intake manifold through the cylinder head. Less heat soak means cooler air and more consistent power delivery." - Import Drag Performance

Anyone else consider this setup? Thoughts?

Thanks,

Jay
