Haven't you already got a thread on this?
Ambient is a good target.....but as I said in your other thread 210DegF isn't that high in my experience, you can safely drive at those IAT's if your tuning is appropriate.
Fitting an IC isn't going to be a big deal on your setup anyway, as you blow through your throttle, no long intake tracts, so get to it and bask in the lovely cold(er) air.

I think you can modify the code to 'shift' the reading higher (or just use DegC :P)
If you can afford the few hundred £$ an IC will cost you then you should do it. There's no downsides for your setup.

I dont think I agree with that. The temperature at the outlet of the compressor is a product of the compressors efficiency and the inlet temperature.
Will a CAI make a big difference. No. But I think there should be a difference.

While this is true, the temp at the end of the system (throttle body) will be proportionally cooler as the temp at the beginning of the system (filter) drops. Compressing the air increases the temp by a ratio of compressor efficiency and inlet temperature. Thus if inlet temp drops 30 degrees, then outlet temp drops 30 degrees.
