Don't you have to look at Charge Air Temps in stead of Inlet Air Temp? At least that what's the owner of my garage (really clever guy btw) explained to me. I don't think you can monitor charge air temp without the Accessport unfortunately. Since I got the intercooler, the charge air drops under ambient temp right after you go WOT, then slowly goes up but stays much lower than with the stock IC. The very max charge air I've seen here is 120F after a few WOT highway pulls on a very hot day (for Belgium. So 30°C ambient) with the aftermarket IC.
unfortunately I didn't do to same before I installed the new IC. So don't know what temperatures were reached with the stock IC. But here's a thread about it: http://www.mustang6g.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28381&highlight=charge+air and people have seen +200F after pushing the car on the stock IC. So that's a pretty damn big difference IMO!
On the other hand: in our western-european climate, I'd say the stock IC will do just fine if you aren't a hoonigan and the mustang is mainly used on the highway. I drove around some time with only a new intercooler, cat-back and intake before doing all the other mods. But I have to say, the difference was noticeable on hot humid days if having some fun.
