Hi IAT's are a real problem with the twin screws if you overdrive them to much. My 2.4 was hitting 270 degrees before the intercooler. That is why I switched to the turbo's. If you can keep the blower speed under 1.5 times engine speed it will help.

I'm a firm believer in the reduced IAT's that meth provides. Awesome power increase for the price, at least on my set-up. I run an Alky control kit and it can be 90 degrees outside and my IAT's never go above 70* during a full throttle run. I have a procharger though, so mine aren't nearly as high as yours to begin with. I run straight meth and its pretty much turned up all the way.
