I am running 100% distilled water with two bottles of redline water wetter.

2) have you tried anything like redline water wetter? Mishimoto also has a new coolant and coolant additive out theyre calling liquid chill and claiming up to a 30 degree drop in temps in certain conditions. I dont know much about it yet as I just found out it existed. I posted on SVTP looking for feedback, will probably post on mod fords as well.

See comment above; but I think I am past the miracle additive cure, just need to make the best system possible.

I am sure my core issues come from running aggressive cams; my long-block is the basically same that many run in the X275 drag class, even my TH400 is the same one. I just have a wimpy 76mm turbo to their 88s and a host of other mods they do like computer, suspension, etc. All of that just adds heat. Just makes it more challenging, but I do not believe it is impossible to resolve.
After driving around with the intercooler removed, and temps staying low I am reminded at how much I miss the AC. Really nice jumping out of the car and my glasses fog instantly. :P This really tells me the water-air intercooler is the best path. I think I am finally onto a final solution. Heck, when I go to the track I can throw in some ice to really drop the intake temps.
I just hope others learn from my challenges and save someone money in the future. Just think, I would have saved that 100.00 upgrade fee when I chose to get the larger intercooler. lol
