Whipple 2.9 running hot Whipple / 6.0
IAT have been hotter than usual by 15-20 degrees . It's like 40 over ambient just cruising .
Been through 2-3 diff pumps . Currently running a varimax . Oil in blower looks dirty also .
Not sure if brick is getting clogged ? Or blower is wearing out and heat soaking ? Driving me nuts
Any ideas ?

I think it's the brick getting clogged . Blower is 2-3 years old .maybe has 10-12k on it . I live in mass so car only comes out on weekends in summer . Drove to work this morn . It was 60
Iat 120 . Heat x water was cool
Pump flowing good . Temps seems to lower when I give it a little gas . Gonna take an inspection camera see what I can see

40 over Ambient is about where mine runs on my 6th gen. However if it's running hotter then normal I would check to make sure all the air is bled out. Not sure what you have for a surge tank but I believe Whipple supplies that little tiny fill port on all kits and that makes it a bitch to get all the air out of the IC system.
