Lots of little lessons learned for me, not the least of which is to buy more power tools.
I did get out and do some pulls and it performed great--which is a big consolation after the stress of getting it installed.
Here's the first pull @60f ambient, after driving like a grandma while the oil heated up:

I am curious--does anyone have an answer why IATs creep up while cruising?
Anyways, the next couple of pulls went better--IATs dropped to 10-12 above ambient and stayed there (ambient still @60f):

For comparison, here's my run with the stock IC at the drag strip @70f ambient, where IATs eventually climb to 64 degrees above:

Definitely excited to see how it performs at the next test and tune.
Honestly, these logs are certainly much better than stock - but they don't compare to the "expensive" intercoolers. At 70 degrees ambient, the other intercoolers almost get down to within 3 or 4 degrees of ambient, then climb to about 10 over during a longer pull. Your logs are very short, and let off at 5500 rpm but still never get within 10 degrees of ambient temps (60).
for comparison - APR log at 73 degrees ambient - https://datazap.me/u/fjames/log-1487806422?log=1&data=6-10-12&trim=8&tmin=4.00&tmax=4.50
So while these look like nice inexpensive options, I really can't see them compared to an IE or APR. There is a difference it appears.
