typical/ideal boosted air intake temps

What air intake temps are you all seeing under hard boost? Obviously lower is better, but on average, for a 400-550whp car, what is ideal?

Im my case, I'm making 403WHP, and I was seeing ~115 or so (+/- 5 degrees depending on the pull). Is that high? Low? Decent?

UPDATE: Well, since I had my intercooler piping redone (so that the loewr radiator hose is not touching the charge pipe) my temps have dropped an average of 30 degrees... it sits around 90 degrees throughout a WOT pull

damn. Any idea how hot it was outside when you made that pull?

I guess that intercooler is working out for ya...
