Yes sir, and I read high IAT's in the 115-120 range, dropping to the 90-100 range and climbing back up. Plate or no plate on made very little if any difference in those recorded temps.
Maybe my interpretation is wrong, it is just my own observation of recorded temps. KM

The Gen 2 Raptor's intercooler also has it's own cooling fan.

The plate blocking the intercooler must make some difference or they wouldn't say to remove the license plate for best (offroad) performance in the owners manual supplement.
