brother... I made a custom tune for the OFT v2.06 map for the G/S Intake and OFH. 4 revisions of the MAF scale, countless logs and tune tweaks.. I know a little about the intake . I don't know what you mean by doesn't heatsoak, it's very efficient but heatsoak does happen. It is mitigated by the aluminum box and flow design... but it does happen.

In traffic all intakes IAT will rise, nothing helps against that except for heat shielding, and even then it's not uncommon for intakes (this one included) to surpass 100-120F in traffic, depending on ambient temps.

I can also help you re-scale your MAF (yes, the factory MAF location is designed into the G/S Intake, but trust me.. the stock box is far from this one) if you want. Just let me know... love my setup, but I'm going to underline that the stock airbox is NOT restrictive, so in my mind, no gains. A tuned stock airbox with a high-flow filter will be within 1-2WHP of this G/S box... sooooo.... unless your butt dyno is calibrated better than a MaHa, it's a wasted $300-400 bucks if someone's trying to budget build for power.
