I'd call him up or go down there to get your money back if this isnt the block you paid for.

left for work today, turned the car on and iats were 95.2 basically ambient temp. drove a mile to get on the freeway, and iat was 107 by then. got on the freeway, and it climbed to 120.2 over a 8 mile drive, and stayed there till i full boosted off the transition from one freeway to another. then it climbed to 136, and back down to 130 and stayed there for the last 2 miles of freeway driving.

with ambient temps outside over 100, and the air in the engine bay, it wouldnt surprise me if the manifold was 140ish degrees to the touch, so I think that 120 at cruise, and climbing to 130 after boost is pretty good.

what do you guys think?

Okay, so I have gone from 24 is mpg, to 18-19.5 mpg. Ive tried injector cleaner, new spark plugs, not boosting, boosting a lot then cruising, cleaned air filter. No matter what it keeps declining... Anyone have any tips?

Summer heat + summer gas = worse gas mileage. There is a heavier ethanol mixture in the summer blends. Also a vac leak can cause worse gas mileage.
