Mine is a modified LQ9. (tweaked heads, baby cam, forged pistons, arp head studs and rod bolts. It has corvette front accessories on it and an LS2 Vette water pump.

LS2 has an aluminum block
LQ9/4's have iron blocks.

Sorry, been gone for a week.

With the A/C off, running 70 on the interstate, with ambients around 75, I see IAT's around 135-145

With the A/C on, it drops to 95-100 (all other conditions equal)

This evening, it's 72 degrees. W/O A/C, the IAT's were 125 in town. With A/C, they were 90-95

Reservoir is always cool to the touch A/C or not.
