Intake air temperature

I uninstalled my liquid to air intercooler in hopes of lowering intake air temperature. It would run 10 to 15 degrees C above ambient in normal driving. At higher boost it would steadily climb and take forever to come back down and also raise the water temp because the heat exchanger blocked the airflow to the radiator. Sometimes it would hit 60C on the intercooler outlet. So, I bought an M2 large with the duct and installed it. The first test drive up 341 Virginia City Hillclimb was at 29C ambient. Inlet temp peaked at 147C and outlet hit 43C after 5.2 miles of mostly 12 psi. Coolant temp peaked at 97C. I'm interested in what temps you guys are seeing. Please list your IAT along with ambient temp and I/C inlet. Thanks.

Here in FL I see I used to see anywhere from 45C while cruising on the highway , to 80C in stop and go traffic .

when I go into boost my temps actually go down because thats when My meth injection kicks inn

at one point when I went to the dragon I saw intake temps of 8C .. but I did throw a few ice cubes into my meth tank

Running a Koyo N-flo and ETS FMIC no water injection yet, but a typical +88 degree F day it'll be around 45 C air temp. Unless im stuck in traffic it's never exceeded 60 C. On a typical 70-78 Degree F day its anywhere between 27 C - 35 C. My water temps are almost always 92 - 99 C because the fans are on stock settings they kick on at 100 C.

I'm usually at 39C when it's 80-90 degrees out but when constantly moving, I'm at 32C. Water temps fluctuate between 87C-84C.
