This was my concern as well — and this might not be the best idea, as intake temps rise, but I idle in my parking area for a bit before my first run of the day and then idle a bit in grid (usually am towards the back so have time to sit) and that seems to get temps up and for the rest of the day good to go. I trailer the car most the time so it’s a cold start that first one as well once I’m at the event. I also have the verus vents so that helps to not heat soak the intake too bad.
