If you happened to be running the car at wide open throttle under a load the entire time then yes. You see, the IAT's only get hot when the car is under boost. This is because the air actually heats up when it is compressed. The car is not making boost while it's sitting in traffic therefore the air will not be hot, get it. You were one of the last guys that I thought I'd have to explain this to.

PFR, 130 degrees according to the stock sensor will likely be over 200 degrees with an accurate, quick responding sensor, that's not very cool.
