Let's see if this works...
My idea to combat heat soak in the LS1 has been to securely and remotely suspend the IAT at some point in front of the lid in the path of the air it draws from (i.e. behind the washer fluid resiv...resi...that plastic container thingy that holds the washer fluid - sorry no spell check :lol.
If shipping goes well, I plan to MacGyver my idea this weekend with some fishing string and this:

Yeah, maybe I'm a little crazy for blowing $$$ on something I could splice in an extension on for free. But, this way I don't have to hack up the wiring. My plan...
...will be to suspend the IAT sensor just behind/below the hood latch with some fishing string so that it is securely exposed in free air - the same free air the lid pulls from. Without an immediate source for heatsoak, I anticipate good things (i.e. more accurate IAT readings) from this simple relocation. I just hope 3 feet is enough and I'll have to find something to plug the hole in the lid.
I will post results next week, assuming I get the order this weekend.
