Seems odd both hoses to the intercooler are the same. I would suspect a full temperature engine with all things around the intercooler warmer than the fluid going into it would warm the coolant.
PS: It would also be interesting to see the temps of the two hoses at the smaller radiator for the intercooler. It would show us exactly how much it's cooled.
The drive was for about 30 minutes and the temperature gauge needle was ever so slightly above the half way line.
Only one time did i have opportunity for a WOT test and I know for certain that the SC was working (Lucky the cat doesn't have wings else it would have got airborne. Haha).
Maybe the car is working as per normal? I just didn't feel much difference at all at lower speeds (0 - 40mph)?.
I was hoping or expecting that the new pump would make the car more responsive at the lower speeds.
I have never driven a SRT6 or supercharged vehicle prior so I am unsure what to expect. The throttle response is a bit "doughy" at low speeds up to about 40mph but after a fair press of the accelerator pedal and revs are above 2000rpm then the SC seem to kick in.
I should also add that we have had a bit of a heat wave here recently and most test drives where performed when the temperature was around 74 - 80 degrees F.
