The window banner looks good FREEWAY, is that just a local car club or are you guys nationwide?

all i've done is keep gas in it and drive it. with the snow refusing to stop falling and temps not coming up to spring levels the studded snow tires will stay on for a few weeks and a wash will have to wait.

My set up is intercooled centrifucal but I bypassed my intercooler for now because I only saw 6-7 PSI

Peak boost is 9 @5000rpm's

And last I drove it my IAT's was at 80F on a 60 deg day at idle & cruse. under boost? Not sure. I do keep my intercooler fan on all the time and I wrapped my intercooler piping that runs behind the radiator with header wrap in hopes my IAT will lower . My theory is by doing this the heat that is always blowing on my intercooler pipes will be deflected by the wrap. Dont really know if it works thoe.

My meth was just coming on a WOT but I thought my motor would like it if it came on later. I also only use water. I also run a 170 thermostat to try to keep everything cool. I have that droid app to the OBD2 it tells me my truck stays around 170-180deg

20 degrees above ambient is good. Let me know how you like it.

I have been considering it but my temps are generally not too bad. 120 ish in the summer heat but sometimes it creeps up near 130 while idling. Lack of air going into the motor and the bypass valve recirculating it causes it to rise. Soon as I give it throttle it will drop.

Blacked out my door trim and added an expeditionforum.com decal to rear windows. Also replaced tan pin stripe to flat black

I have had it for awhile and in the summer is when it really helps. Not sure what my summer temps are but I know they are high. my truck feels like its running on 4 cylinders in 80+ temps. I tried half water and half windshield wash fluid in my meth injection and it slowed me down because it was to rich and I didn't want to tune it for that because then I would have to rely on it. I don't have the air recirculating issue either because I use a blow off valve and vent into the atmosphere. Under vacuum that thing screams!
