My IAT is around 100 degrees now...in like 70 degree weather. So in your case, even though there isn't much compression involved, I would recommend it. Especially since its not hot yet over there, but you and I both know, it will be.
Another thing, its gets hot as hell in the cabin now... winter is going to be nice, but this summer my wife would want the AC on all the time :P

I am kind of hoping somone would make a nice upgraded intercooler tank for this SC down road as I would not mind upgrading to an aluminum tank, but don't want to relocate the battery.

Just curious what is causing all that additional heat in your car?? I know you have a lot more mods, but nothing that looks to really add more heat and mine seems pretty much the same?? From what I read, these SC run extremely cool as compared to others as even one of the guys who installed this SC on a modded car was commenting on how cool the IATs stayed even after a hard drive.

Honestly, it just could be its just hot out (no windows open), and its not even related to the SC since I just picked up this car in Jan (not used to it). Also, I have the covers on too, so that doesn't help out any in terms of heat. However I am leaving them on till the video/dyno next week sometime, then after that - no more - its back in the box they car till a show.
IATs are around 104, as low as 92 when on the highway. Coolant temp is usually around 200, low as 193, as high as 205. I possibility have air still in the system, but in a few heating cycles I hope it will get resolved.
I went to the Ford dealership this weekend (where I picked up the car from) and the sales people wanted to see my car (I promised them). Anyway, I had my hood open just chatting to them when I bunch of people came and looked at my car. It was like a mini car show, and I loved it!
Doogie65, a question to ask. You have a boost gauge correct? If that is the case, when you rev in neutral to maybe 3-4K do you see any boost, or is it only in gear?

As I mentioned previously, I never see any boost (only vacuum) when the car is not being driven. Only when driving and pushing hard do I see any boost on the gauge. Think I may try out the recording function of the aeroforce gauges and see where the boost peaks.

My IATs lately as its been a little hotter out are usually around 100-105. If I get into boost a few times in a row as I did on Friday night, it goes up to about 130, then slowly comes back down to maybe 115. I have no idea just how much the charge cooler would lower these values. At some point, the blower is sitting under the hood next to a hot engine, so there is only so much cooling that could take place...
