By your list, You should be logging ambient air temp as well to see how well this "works" if you werent already planning on it.
Fyi, my stock piece lets intake temps get to 1-2 degrees above ambient temps while driving down the road and even matches ambient at times as well. Im down in South Texas. Stock airbox with a smooth aluminum intake tube to the throttle body. I only have one of the shutter blades removed on the upper drivers side. The last time i actually looked at this was during the August months as well so hot outside. Judging by that, id say the stock piece works well. I use HPTuners to log.
I was seriously contemplating getting the stillen piece until the data showed it wasnt needed in my case. I could only see this helping when stationary by helping shield the intake path from the rising heat/air coming off the radiator.
