What is the best method to measure my IAT's? I want some before and after comparisons.

Get HP Tuners. You can do other stuff with it, too.

Can that measure my blower outlet temps? I thought i could only measure my MAF readings with that.

where ever you iat sensor thats what you'll read. if its hooked to your ecu. if you didn't relocate it then it will be in your maf and will read the air comming through there but if you move it it will read where ever you moved it to.

And "moving it" consists of buying a new one (from a Camaro or 'Vette), and cutting and splicing the MAF's IAT sensor wires.
I moved mine to my manifold, and the readings I was getting show that I might have been heat soaking it, the cruise temperatures were 150 to 170 degrees at about 85 degrees ambient.
After I get it running with the intercooler, if the IAT still reads high, I will relocate the sensor to the I/C tube entering the engine.

okay, the saga continues. My radiator is 44.5" wide (including endtanks)!! Basic translation: No eff'n way my radiator will fit between the inlet/outlet of the intercooler. So it looks like I am going to have to get a Dmax radiator as well. This may slow things down a little, but i will get it. I will also most liely just pick up a stock auxilary transmission cooler to act as my engine oil cooler since the Dmax radiator has none built in. The fun continues.
