So I'm running a stage 2 Whipple kit with the large heat exchanger. The dash cluster reads the MAF IAT1 which is pre-compressor and usually reads about 7 degrees over ambient temps for me when just cruising around town fully warmed up, or even on spirited on ramp or the occasional 1-3 rip.
If I stop, especially idling with AC on, waiting in the school line to pick up the boys, I've seen IAT1 readings as high as 171 (today.) Now, that's Texas fall (85-90 degrees) in the sun sitting idling for about 15 minutes after the car was already fully warmed up. As soon as I get it moving at speed the IAT's drop like a rock of course, but until then it's pretty warm. Once the heat soak is gone everything is back to normal.
But it's got me thinking - is there any way (SCT, flare software, etc.) for me to read IAT2 to see what the post compressor temps look like? I'm really curious. I even toyed with dropping a temp sensor in the intercooler line to read coolant temp for that system.
