What is a good IAT?
What is a good IAT? My 5.3L with 8.6:1 compression, stock cam, 15# boost with my homemade intercooler.
Right now my IC doesnt have much air flowing through it, I need to modify my bumper.
As of now my IAT runs around 102-105 making a full pass down the road.
It does start to pull timing also.
How does this look and what should it be?
Thanks.

Dude, that really isn't that much considering you're running 15#, and that's on a front mount setup... those temperatures look pretty good with that high of boost. I've heard of people reaching close to 180-200F. You mean you're seeing some knock retard? How many degrees of timing do you have coming in, and what rpm are you seeing full boost? Are we talking about a manual car or automatic? Would like more details.
Th350 4000 stall, full boost at around 3800-4000 timing is at 9* & A/F is 11.4
This is a bone stock 5.3 shortblock, cam and all. just ported 6L heads. Bent a pushrod so im down for now. Other than that it seemed to run pretty good.

You're golden man, more golden than I am I'm sure... Run it, you'll be fine with 102 to even 110F IAT's. Your timing is only 9 degrees, seems a little low... I would imagine with that compression, even at 15# you would be up around 16.
