Wow - 220 IAT is asking for detonation/pre-ignition in the warm Florida weather. Brutal temps at PBIR. Glad you spoke with Midgard that IC setup may bet the way to go.

By making more clearance and using the louver style add on to duct air up to it, it will effectively increase the air flow over the intercooler,
We'll see if it helps.... Our concern is IATs for the mile run...

It may or may not be what you want but the splitter on the SST was not bought just because of the look. ACS made it like the Z06 Vette Splitter and you can order it with the ducts for radiator/intercooler cooling. Works well. Just a thought even if you only wanted it for the Texas Mile both for cooling and it keeps air from getting under Brandi.
