I can just about tell the outdoor temp by adding 10 or 11° to my IAT, after the truck is fully warmed, at cruising speeds. It was 91° today, and I was cruising at 102°. Last year at similar temps, I was cruising at 172°. The biggest difference is this year, the temp only goes up 11° at most after a WOT run. Last year, they were going up 40°. It runs quite a bit better at 111° then at 212°. Still some KR. It needs more tuning.
OK, Linda, your turn, get it running.

Those are some sweet IAT's, I am anxious to get my intercooler on to see what mine will be. Being that my intercooler is very similar to VBonds my IAT's should be close to his. A bit lower being that I am not running as small of a pulley as him.

At 91 ambient you numbers are much better than mine. its likely because I have ran the tubing right in front of the fan and it is more suceptable to heat soak plus you have a larger IC. With the fan on, Im about 20 to 30 over, so I will try using some heat wrap.
