Long story short, the intake air temperature is indeed higher, which should surprise no one. What was surprising was the charge air temperature was much lower at the same point on the curves, around 20F cooler! So, I haven't given up on this one yet, it appears that this intake will be similar to Terry's intake on the N54, where it sucks hotter air but still makes power.
I built support brackets for the filters this morning, and my next order of business is to get some heat shield material to try and balance temps under the hood. There is a wide delta between each side of the engine compartment, with the passenger side running WAY hotter. Looking at the curves, the 1's are passenger side and the 2's are driver side.
Here is the first graph, stock intakes:
- 10:00 pm
- 81F outside temperature
- 68% humidity

Now here is the second graph, modified intakes:
- 10:00 am
- 75F outside temperature
- 45% humidity
