air temp sensor question

[87spools]

I was just thinking about this and thought to post it to see what everyone thinks. Does it make a difference if the air temp sensor is located closer to the TB as opposed to be mounted by the air filter? Am i just wasting my time? I was just wondering. I am doing lots of upgrades this spring when I take the GN out of storage and this crossed my mind. Thanks for your time.

Unless you're planning on switching over to some type of aftermarket ECM to run speed density (mafless), moving the airtemp sensor won't gian anything performance wise. It'll just give you a more accurate readout of manifold temp for your scan tool.
