Good to know, I was quoting from Wagner themselves, but I don't doubt your measurement is more accurate. Sometimes they don't even put the right information online.

So baseline temperatures are 95 degrees - and rise about 10 - 15 degrees during a single gear pull.
Wagner Evolution 1
Ambient temp - starting Temp - end of 3rd
70 - 95 - 110 (40 degrees over ambient!)
VRSF Competition:
79F - 92F - 92F (13 degrees over ambient)
Just extrapolate that over 2 gears or even 3, and you'll see that the IC is ill suited for what you're asking it to do.

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

I don't know if I can agree it "recovers better than stock" when the last Evolution 1 data log failed to show this as true, and data logs from the EVO2 show Tube and Fin intercoolers don't recover quicker than Bar and Plate (about even)
This is absolutely an upgrade over stock, but considering that the temperatures go up 15 degrees in one pull, this IC is not suited for Stage 2 cars, or cars that see high ambient temps.
