You said "the general rule is every 10F = 1% HP" but now you have gone metric with your Celsius temperatures. What is the general rule with degrees Celsius and KW? With the passage of time I am uncertain about the physics and relationship between temperature and power and remember that Absolute temperature should be used in the calculation but with the differences between intake and ambient figures you are seeing I suspect small but worthwhile power gains.
I will repeat that the gains are cumulative with time.

Thanks the heat shield stuff should be here today
my rule does come from the V8 world so I am not sure if it still applies to our engine. You could convert the Celsius to F via a google caculator I was just a little lazy last night haha! The air intake temps drop really fast when you start moving so I am more interested if I can get them down to really close to ambient. I was surprised they were that much higher while moving TBH. I would have thought that enough air flows fast enough but apparently not.
