It's 16.2 lbs per my scale our twice as heavy as the stock IC.

So we have

Wagner Evolution 1
Ambient temp - starting Temp - end of 3rd
70 - ??? - 110
Around 95 degrees right after getting on the highway after being in stop and go for 20 minutes in 70 to 75 degree weather. Overall, the IATs go up around 10 to 15 degrees over the course of the 3rd gear run vs 30 degrees or more with the stock IC based on numerous runs.

And I suspect Wagner's lighter weight means it soaks faster in stop and go traffic like the Evolution 2 in this test:

Like I said, I'll wait for more logs (if you choose to share) but this will likely not work for anyone who uses central cooling for their homes in the summer.
It doesn't heat soak as fast as stock. Not even remotely close and why would it? It's twice as heavy. It also recovers WAY faster than the stocker too.

I don't think ANY amount of data is going to change your opinion about these ICs.
