C7 heating
Hey I have a c7 with a built stroker 416 cubic inch built motor, Procharger d1sc with horizontal intercooler,headers, meth and running 14psi, replaced the factory radiator to a custom bigger one.
The intake temperature is around 140F so the car losses power after few runs,
Anyone got a solution to reduce the intake temperature? Thanks for the helpers

Only things I've used to solve this on my past cars was a bigger intercooler, meth (more meth?), or reducing underhood temp from the manifolds via coating or exhaust wrap. Bigger IC was the biggest impact in my situation

I had a smaller horizontal intercooler and switched to a vertical Procharger intercooler and it made a huge difference in my iats. I read where one other person changed there setup from horizontal to vertical with their same intercooler they modified to mount verticaly and also saw a noticeable difference.
