Default IAT sensor Redux

Hey all,
1st, let me apologize, I know this subject has been done before, but I just did a search, and it
came up with nothing.
Background:
Even on the hottest day (and we've had quite a few here in Northern Illinois lately) my 5.9L runs waay better when the temp guage is reading mid-way
between 0-210. The Closer is gets to "normal"
operating temps, the perf drops noticably.

I read here (and elsewhere) claims that relocating
the IAT sensor to the intake "hat" or farther-
upstream will make the cool engine-conditions performance I describe more or less the norm, rather than just when the engine's "cool".
I also read that the PCM "compensates" as the engine heats-up, and relocating does "no-good".

What's the real story?

Thanks, (and sorry for the rehash)
Tom

you can do the AIT mod if you want to, however, with what you are describing, I'd get a 180 Deg thermistat and put that in Your truck will run cooler thus giving the better perfomance and extending the life of your engine. Two plusses in my opinion
