It's more than a few inches....but the temp really depends on where you live. Even down here in Tejas I think the air in your engine bay could easily be hotter than the air above the asphalt.....but maybe it's not.

Part of the equation would be how much cooler the air in the engine bay is while the car is moving vs. idling to see the difference in CAI and Short Ram......
