Without intercooler used to run 150*
In LOTO with bathwater maybe an extra 5-8*
My buddy with a MOAC and an 8.3l Whoople runs nice and cool mostly just under 100*
Mr. Waggs and his custom huge intercooler can run in the 90*`s
MAT is intake temp...

No... Once we`re in the summer months and lake michigan is warmer (70ish) it stays around 119* at WOT.

But at 950-1000hp the 10-71 is happy and the whipple isn’t much of a benefit.
If it were me I’d knock the compression down below 8.0/1 (maybe get the actual 1075sci pistons), and let the blower work. Assuming you get the fuel distribution figured out of course.

Interesting. Assuming same intercooler I think that means you weren’t turning the 10-71s very hard. They seem to hit a wall around 1100hp, at which point I’m assuming the heat goes up faster than the power. The whipple can keep going up into the 1400hp range.

The Whoople 4% over was 12lbs, 1:1= 9-10 lbs
I`ll have to slow it down even more to get to 7-8psi.
It`s a lot of blower .A smaller one would be better . 4.5L comes to mind

The acceleration is very noticeable, the Roots took their time to get to 90mph.(the last 5mph you gotta stay in it for a while, get the trim amd rpm just right )
The Whoople gets there fast, now if i advance the throttles it puts you back in the seat, did not do that with the ROOTS.
Keep in mind 9.5-10psi with Whoople.
8-8.5psi with Roots but that`s not going to make that much of a difference.
