Sweet, thank you.

Makes me feel free comfortable about riding in this heat.

Don't wanna be blowing in pistons because of heat.

 

Depends on a few factors like IAT1, speed, outside temp, RH, driving style and tuned vs stock but. For the most part Stock IC hard driving tuned with 95* temps will result in up to 150* IAT2s. My car even with SRI, agressive tune, and 100* ambient temps (up to 150* IAT1) never has risen above 107 with my Synapse IC. It is about a 50* drop vs IAT1 when sitting still with no airflow which is very impressive IMHO. When running on the HWY the other night I did a 45-130 pull (about 10 sec total) and my IAT2 never rose above ambient temp ( 84*)

It does not according to logging I have done. It can be 50* above ambient temps with hard driving. The stock IC heatsoaks badly in 90*+ temps and hard driving.

 

i was in 93 degree weather and my IAT1 rose up to 120 but my IAT2 didnt go past 102

 

Exactly - the purpose isn't to cool air down below ambient, but to get it as close as possible after being heated by compression.

Interesting - maybe it's a humidity thing? In the dry-ass heat of AZ, it has been extremely efficient for me.

 

That makes me feel even better considering we have the same intercooler.

 

Yes, high RH and high temps are murder on the stock IC if you drive hard. Lower RH even it hot conditions there will be less heat soak than really humid conditions.

 

It makes me wonder if a aftermarket IC would help an otherwise stock SS/TC? My car runs much stronger at night in the cold air. If it's supposed to make 260 all the time , why doesn't it pull the same during the day?

 

260 is only the target torque figure - the higher rpm the car can make that amount of toruqe, the more horsepower it'll make and the harder it will pull. What you'll likely see if you compare stock dynos in hot vs cold weather is the two similar peak torque figures, but the car in the heat will start seeing torque drop much sooner.
