Default Larger I/C?

Currently i have kenne bells intercooler and it has been really hot here up in upstate ny and my temp gauge is reading half dont know what my iat's are but she feels very sluggish. would a larger i/c do the job or something else? was looking into the killer chiller system but just exploring my options.

What water/coolant mix are you running?
I am here in LA and have been running the car and my temp gauge reads 1/4 to 3/8 or so. really depends on how hard i am on it.

Right now i believe i am running the 70% water 30% coolant mix.
Your car is going to feel slower the higher the outside temp gets.

i am running the same coolant/water mix you were. i may drain half the intercooler resivor and add more distilled water to it.
