What we can say is that during our testing at El Toro we were extremely pleased with what we saw. We saw temperature drops of well over 100 degrees post intercooler. And, during our heat soak testing we saw the temperature decrease rapidly once the car started moving again. As I've explained before, we put the car through a torture test to build as much heat as we could, parked it for ten minutes to let that heat soak into everything, then fired the car back up and performed a 0-140 MPH run. We were VERY pleased to see how quickly the intercooler coolant temperatures dropped as soon as we started moving again.
I would think you could tell us what the temp was before the IC and after just so we can see if the before temps were on par with the amount of heat put out by othe FI systems. 100 degree drop is good but only if the before temps werent overly high to begin with.

For me, still being undecided which kit to get, the amount of cooling the two different ICs do is very important to my decision. I will be asking the same from the other kit too.
