I use an OBD2 bluetooth dongle and the Dash Command App to monitor water temps and the air intake readings are on the same screen. It has be wondering how hot is too hot for an air intake temp on an LS based engine. Im running an '05 6.0L out of 2500HD truck with some bolt on upgrades. Nothing crazy. I saw the air temps reach 155 degrees this last weekend and the weather outside was 85 degrees tops.
I dont think the air filter is too close to the exhaust on the passenger side, but that high of a temp seems way off to me. What should the range be for LS motors for them to run optimally? It was running fine at those temps. Water temp in the engine was 205ish all weekend long and spiked to 225 on longer climbs.
