Surface Temperature of Intake Tube -- Rear
Reported speeds in excess of posted limits are on a closed course. Do not attempt :-)
Test 2 told us the temperature at the front innermost point of the tube, but that side is exposed to wind. What about the back side, which is shielded by the wind and facing the hot engine? Immediately after completing Test 2 I turned around and performed this Test 3, which ended at the Hwy 68 turnoff into Pacific Grove CA.

Place the sensor on the opposite side of where it was last time; facing the engine. |

A long empty straightaway resulted in WOT up to 100 mph and held there for about 2 miles; with a gentle coast-down. This pic was taken after the coasting period began and represents the high-water mark for temperature. |
 |
Afterwards driving at 65 mph. Reported temp slowly decreased over a period of 5 or so miles until it steadied to the temperature shown. |
