Hi all; where is the best place to put the air temp sensor?

Supercharger instructions say before the unit. I'm wondering if the car will run better, if i put it after the head unit , telling the pcm the true air temp.

Anyone tried both ? .... G.
 
ive had it both ways, not sure if it made much of a difference, just depends on how its tuned i would imagine. im going to set it up with it after the pump with my redesign
 
Thanks for that.

To my mind, telling the pcm the air is cold and dense was a trick for N/A guys to get more fuel in.

Glad to hear it doesn't hurt.

I don't have a tune yet, but i do have an F.I. basic map done for all my hardware.... just to make it possible to install all the parts and start the car safely.

Thanks to CSVT#49 for his guidance there. ... G.
 
I installed mine after the head unit. I don't believe it matters once you get a good tune for the car.

iirc you had a blow thru MAF setup.

I wonder if having a the MAF and temp sensor together on one side or the other of the head unit is desirable and splitting them may make it harder to tune,

( i plan suck thru and after temp)...G.
