True, if you did in fact increase the surface area and the flow, that would explain why your IATs are "reacting" faster, ie the hot/cold air is hitting your sensor (I believe the IATs are measured from the MAP) faster.

So i do not forsee any trouble with the AFR

I would still check it. If you are in fact increasing the flow, your MAF readings, and therefore fueling etc, will be off.

- Make a heat shield under the intake, should help with IATs a little from heat from the radiator. The change in IATs is probably due to the flow of air through the filter more than anything else.

All very good points. I would almost suggest you stick with the previous air filter and just extend it with an elbow to point it farther away from the headers and closer towards the hole where the snorkel used to be (kinda like the JRSC layout). If you do go that route, heat shielding would still help.
