Jus thinking out loud here.Going back to when I was changing the setup on my side mount Whipple.In the process I used a few different configurations.What I found was boost or restiction if you will was the key contributer of heat when flow (cfm) was less.When I ended up using the blow through TB configuration my blower was under constant boost because,my bypass valve was not able to flow enough cfm at part/closed throttle.So at a constant 5psi the blower added very lil heat to the intake air about 8-10 degrees at give or take 300 cfm.The temp was monitored before the intercooler in DD conditions.My point is the intercooler below your 2300 may be more of a restriction at this point then help at such low pressure.I really dont know as I have only a lil experience with the TVS2300.I think entertaining the idea of monitering boost pre and post intercooler would be worth a look.Being you plan on targeting 6-8#'s at a much higher cfm relative to others.If you keep the coolant temps in check the under hood heatsoak will not be a problem.This is given you could keep coolant temps around 160-180 the iat's will not be adversely affected either.

Yes i think it will be a balancing act of sorts. keeping the low rpm tq of the stroker while being able to feed it thru consistant cfms with out restriction. in the upper rpms, the intercooler to me has shown no signs of restriction from my previous builds. This build has no plans of being a high rpm high hp set-up. I expect peak hp @ 5600.
