So at the end of a long full throttle pulls might see couple degrees pulled. I am sure on runs to 130mph the engine bay gets hot heating up the Intake Air.
Thanks for the table that was awesome!  |
With a supercharger you are compressing air so your IAT will rise during a pass vs. n/a will lower during a pass. That's where a good intercooler comes into play.
In the staging lanes is somewhat like traffic. When I had my 08 I had a hard time keeping the IAT down in the staging lanes even in cool weather. Found that opening the hood and allowing the engine to idle helped. Along with running my fan manually with VCM controls in my HP Tuner.
Incidentally I've ran my best times with my engine temp around 180*. Some say higher gives best but not my results.
