Hey all.
Just went on the dyno yesterday. Had a pretty good day considering i have no intercooler or meth. Mid-mounted turbo (next to tranny tailshaft)

We couldn't put alot of timing into the truck because of the intake temps were nearly 170 degrees!

Only 7.3 psi (wastegate is 8psi "supposedly")
It was 65 degrees on this day.

Question is: What are the non-intercooler guys seeing for intake temps?
ALSO, what are intake temps for intercooled guys?
My next upgrade is a front mount, and some meth injection and hopefully 10-12psi.

Thanks all~

That is about right for your setup a good inter cooler will get you in the range of 20 degrees F above ambient temps.

years ago i had an old D1B Procharger, and had a 3 core sheetmetal i/c-i was blowing thru a carb
at 18 lbs boost, the air temp coming out of the s/c was 330 degs, and after the i/c it was in the 190 range-never hurt the engine, so i kind of felt around 180-200 was a little safe-some say a carb can handle hotter temps, i guess because the fuel and air are mixed further up, by the time the mix. hits the head its more atomized?
dont know if that has ever been proven though-i had a buddy who made a large version of a cool can, used it on his return line to cool the fuel in the tank

85* even after 12 pulls, 90* day, with I/C and meth, 18 psi, twin 4.5" ATI I/C's. No reason not to cool the intake charge, at least in my mind.

sooo ... what did it make on 7.3?

Well, because we had to pull timing out, ended up with 440 tq, 407 hp on a mustang dyno.

i believe with 100* less intake temps, we will be able to up hp by alot. Should see over 500 w/ IC and meth.
