Fwiw I saw a 14 deg rise during a 0-75 blast. Returned back to normal after stopping. Not long enough.

When I was running 14psi on my Whipple 2300, it would get to 140’ish on a hard, sustained pull.

It did cool down quick however.

Kenne Bell 2.8L on built 370 at 15psi. Spinning compressor at ~85% max speed at shift point.
With upgraded heat exchanger and pump - +15 degrees over ambient on cruise and +120 on a full boost pass.
Prior to upgrades - +30 cruise with continual heat gain / +180 full pass

Wonder why y’all see 15-20 over ambient.
The Lightning see’s much higher air temps.
So we built them a large ic. to help.

Anyone here pushing 20+?

yes, but 20-30 over ambient isn’t not bad.

procharger customs are enjoying the ability to run our larger inter coolers.
but not much offered to the blower guys. 🤷‍♂️

There aren't many bolt on front mount heat exchanger upgrades dedicated to the trucks. Nor are there any complete packages such as a bigger pump, ice box, heat exchanger and all associated lines to connect them. Everyone seems to buy their preference of each part from different vendors and make their own stuff.
