Default optimum air intake temperature

Does anyone know what the optimum air intake temperature is for fuel efficiency? Also, what would the maximum safe air intake temperature be?

Thanks, Hunter

Default Intake Air

I've asked this question before without any repsonses.

I've seen intake temperatures as high as 60 degrees F above the outside air temperatures with my "turbo" in full boost.

It can get up to 150 when it's hot and you run the A/C, the air intake is right above the A/C condenser, so the air gets heated when you have the A/C on.
