Cooling plate increasing IAT?

[gohan408]

I recently installed a Jogon carbon cooling plate and noticed my intake temps are running higher than before. Is it because the plate seals off the top gap, forcing all that frontal air straight through the hot radiator core and trapping the heat under the hood where the intake pulls air?

I'm running PRL HVI/Intercooler/Charge pipe/Inlet + stage 2 tune.

What’s the increase? Bro if it’s just a few degrees, the intercooler can scrub it if you’re running a bigger one.

I want to say an average of 8-10 degrees higher than ambient temp, but the temp does drop quickly once I start moving. Yesterday when ambient was 81F my temp at idle was 135
