My ACT was reading 150 by te time i got to work 12 miles away from home. That is some serious heat! As you can imagine, having the air in the intake reach 150 degrees at idle meant I had ot take it nice any easy... No playing with the ricers today. I've gotta say, I don't recall ever seeing it up that high before.

Edited to add" my coolant temp was a steady 218 - 220 though. Not too shabby.

ACT?

218-220 sounds a little hot. Should be around 190-200.

ACT = Air Charge Temperature. in other words, it was the temperature of the air flowing into the engine.

I didn't think 220 was too bad considering the outside air temperature today (low - mid 90s) and th extreme humidity. Add that to the constant stop and go traffic and I wasn't too worried. Although just for safe measure, I may change my fan settings. Right now the fan turns itself on low speed at 208 and shuts it off at 204. The high speed comes on at 228 and turns itself off at 224. I may lower them a bit for teh hot das of summer.

did that throw a code when it got that hot??? i think i had that same code... thats one of to of my code problems... there other is something ot do with the egr... not sure about that one tho....

I didn't check for codes, but it didn't throw a CEL or anything. It was ungodly hot and humid out today. Add that to a supercharger and I was generating some serious heat; both ACT and ECT. Still not enough to set off the fan's high setting, but enough to trip the low fan. It was one of those days that I didn't want to get on it.. even with the methanol.
