I've heard folks recommend just before the throttle body and other say the intercooler outlet. I placed mine at the IC outlet. Nice thick aluminum there for tapping. :-)

IIRC, aquamist claims closer to TB is better for detonation control, farther away is better for cooling. Really, cooling is not such an issue, but the more timing you can run by artificially raising your octane the better off you are. On the Westfield, I'm probably 2" upstream from the IAT now. For the guys out there familiar with their timing maps under boost and how octane limited they are, I am running 19 degrees at torque peak at 16.5 psi with no knock on 91 octane and I haven't even put it on the dyno yet to see how far we can go. We do have a customer making well over 500 rwhp on 93 pump gas with water/methanol, running 21 degrees at torque peak at 27 psi. To compare, at 12 psi on our crap gas with no WI, typically down to 12 degrees or so at TQ peak.

Is there any downside to relocating the AIT sensor to the intake manifold? Heat soak? Alternatively, is there a reason not to place the WI nozzle near the IC outlet?
