yes.
using a thermocouple i measured the intake air charge temperature to be only a few degrees greater than the ambient air temperature outside the vehicle. the intake charge is drawn from outside the engine compartment through the drivers side fenderwell. The intake air has such a high velocity passing through the manifold that it doesnt have the opportunity to absorb much heat from the manifold. if i had an IR thermometer i could measure the surface temps of the engine parts after some highway operation but i can say from experience that it is hot enough to give a second degree burn.
