i would assume incon kits tend to run hot, but what about you single turbo fbody guys with the turbo up where the battery use to go or wherever it is you put it. what temps do you guys see? on a 70 degree day my **** still gets to 220.
My car doesn't get much over 180 (stock gauge reading), including 1/4 mile blasts.

Cruising today in about 85 degree temps and im about 19-195 in stop and go traffic... it might of creeped up after a bit but once moving again even at only 40mph it cools down real quick....

One thing to consider Zach is that the Incon TT setups are all low mount, right in the undercarriage airflow. Heat is not in the engine bay as your setup is.
