Wow, you have made your opinion very clear.
We had two of the cooled Whipples running at Mid-Ohio last year and the ambient temp on the first day was 94. While the coolers do heat soak the delta temp seems to be around 40 degrees over ambient. The IATs were around 130 and if you don't cool the high boost Whipple you can see temps around 220. This was viewed as a success by all involved so I don't know why your set up did not work very well..
jdnsx...you posted this on the ctsc dyno thread found here

There are some electronic guages that hook up to the OBD II port and can read boost from the stock sensor up 11 LBS.
You’re obviously using electronic gauges... because you mention these temps on the track and not the dyno while advising other people to use them as well.
In this case our AEM electronic gauges read far superior results then those stated above with both our BBSC and GMSC air to waters.
Exact readings directly from the AEM on the dyno showed true intake air temp. substantially higher then the never reliable electronic gauge yet still lower then pre water to air readings.
If you are truly receiving 130 deg iat, your core should be similar to this temp, the non electronical or mechanical test to this would be to place your hand on the core as it is a direct measure to the temperature of the air.
130deg should is a low enough temp to keep your hand against the core yet 220 deg should be sufficient to burn your hand, you cant have 130deg iat on a 200+ deg core. You can’t have a 130 deg core sandwiched in between a 300+ deg engine block and a piping hot auto rotor...no matter how much water you’re pushing through it...
