Default Re: What's normal for IAT's

I went to the drag races on Sunday and the IAT's peaked at 162º. They dropped to 118º by the time I got back to the pits so the stock pump is working fine. Today I checked the water level in the super cooler and it took a cup to refill it, went for a drive and the temps went to 120º and parked there. Who knows what's normal? Will a new Johnson keep them lower? I've never had the dreaded supercharger shut down so apparently my IAT's don't reach that threshold. Anyone have any info on this? Do I need to spend more on cooling mods? (185º thermostat goes in this weekend.)

Ambient temperature is currently 95º to 100º. The track temp. was 107º on Sunday. Humidity is 100%.

The super cooler has a normal operating range of 15-22 degrees above ambient temps. I don’t recall what the max IAT would be under WOT but if you have the ISO Kit and super cooler, I think it should be around 140-145.
