Guys, i mounted my intercooler on my NA engine and drove it arround mounted.

My engine temps go about 3/4way... when i drive it hard with my ac on.

I've had the same problem, and a few other people on here. Some cars handle it well, and some do not, it's hit and miss when it comes to increased coolant temps. Get a aftermarket aluminum radiator and high CFM fan to go along with it. Run some water wetter too, and you should be good to go. A lot factors come into play, everything to the density of the intercooler, to even your manifold design...heat soak and etc..
