EGT's and cold air intakes

How much will my EGT's go down with a cold air intake?

It won't be very noticeable, if it is at all.

Speaking from first-hand experience, if it's a true cold air intake (and not a simple heat shield), 50*F to 100*F (+/-) EGT drops are realistic pending weather, load, etc.

You'll most likely see a small increase in boost as well with the denser charge air.

im sure if there is any its so small of a drop you wouldnt see it on a pyro. most everyone runs a low restriction intake, a cold air intake would be gettin air from the outside, not the warm air under the hood.

I tried a bhaf and made a heat shield, egt's went up. I went back to the stock box and swiss cheesed it . Bhaf is nice of you really want to hear the turbo sing.

Kinda my thought too, an intake is really one of those supporting mods with no real noticeable gain coming from it.
