Re: Advice

Did you check for any engine codes?
Did you *burp* the CAC system?
Did you *jump* the pump relay so it is working/on full time? -To compare temps

Re: Advice

If you have the stock chip, the ECM won't turn the IC pump on until it heats up to around 215 degrees. You can read up on this here. Hotwiring the pump to be on all the time as leafoot mentioned or getting an aftermarket chip (the Ultimate chip turns it on a 60 degree plus a myriad of other things) is the only way to address this.

Re: Advice

Sounds pretty normal to me.

I routed my intercooler through the heater core one summer. The blower fan provides some additional cooling. Turning on the a/c helped a litttle more.

I routed it through an ice chest in the bed once for the track. I had good results, but I spent more on ice than gas.

An auxiliary intercooler, especially with a fan, may help.

It's hard to beat water / alcohol injection for reducing intake temps.
