High IAT temps. Worth it to relocate intake?

I am getting readings of 145-150* in stop and go traffic, with it slightly cooling down while cruising. I am in the SW where ambient temps are 105*, but I have never seen it run less than 20-25* above ambient even while cool out. The motor is a stock LS1.

The MAF and IAT are right above the rad hose and quite close to the radiator. Would be worthwhile to extend the intake tube and add a small bend to put the intake closer to the horn/in the fender well? I know that cooler air = good but I also suspect that a few degrees isnt going to affect real world performance much.
