time to decrease temp across speed per temp drop would make for some interesting comparisons. Looks like you have the data for it already (that was about a 40 min drive, if I read correctly). Plenty of stops/gos in there too. Those kind of comparisons would be good benchmarks for comparing differences in heatsoak/dissipation for other intercoolers.

At the end, was that just sitting at idle, where the speed=0 and the temp continues to rise?

Might I recommend you connect with Thomasio from rls? It would be great to throw his rls intercooler into the mix of your data collection. I think a lot of people would benefit from the knowledge of how changing the intercooler does/does not impact heat soak and charge temp.

And also, of course, to test Shoco's side-intake cooling kit. What a difference that would make for folks to see the end results of these kits.
