What are the weak points of the system? Can you find larger cored rads to get more capacity? Colder thermostats?

Oh, and other news. I started my new job finally. All is well and I'm loving it. Right now we're in snow mode and I'm currently sitting in the shop waiting for a truck to come in from breaking or replacing a plow blade. Been here since Friday morning and won't be going home til late Sunday night. Gotta love double time lol.

The weakness is the efficiency of the water-to-air intercooler... The heat exchanger can be upgraded and extras added, but the system doesn't remove enough heat to keep IAT2(post blower) temps down... Breaking the 300whp mark with stock blower and long block is hard enough to accomplish on E85, let alone on pump gas... Can't run enough timing or boost...
