Say if its reading 205 than on average the intercooler is # hotter.

So in the chart above 228 pre intercooler, what was the engine temp at that time?
Just trying to get a ball park to see where Im running.

The engine coolant temp isn't a good indicator of the intake air temp (IAT).

With the stock intercooler, after just a few minutes of hard running, IAT temperature spikes (post intercooler) can reach over 170 or 180 degrees F and average temps can exceed 150 or 160 degrees F quite easily.
