Question high inlet temp problems

Hey everyone Has anyone else had any issues with high inlet temps on there tvs 1900 kits. Ive got a 5.3 punched out to 346 with a tvs 1900 and 12 lb pulley the low temp rad looked small so i made one out of an oil cooler and it helped a little but hard to say because the outside air temps were diffrent. At 40 degrees out side air temps it still hits 150 + Has anyone else had this problem?

You can take a IAT reading before the intercooler and compare it to the after
cooler temps and ambient temps to see how efficient your cooler is.

This will tell the story.

This kit has two coolers one under the head unit and one mounted behind the grill the dex in resivour under the hood felt cooler when i put my finger in but under boost the temps climb high and fast so the tune on the dyno had to be conservitive just trying to get as much out of it as i can. And hope I'm not the only one out there with this problem
