At what point (psi) does the intake temp skyrocket?

dont know the actual psi as the charge temp is held by the fluke multimeter on a k-probe in manifold and all other data is on the wide band aux box .
we were at 190+ climbing at 28 psi with f methanol nozzles flowing from 6psi and wide open throttle . .the compressor wheel took some tire tread through it on a front tire blow out at 150 mph.
rick cleaned it up ....the new engine is just not happy . we got better heads to try and a small front mount intercooler if we can get it done before the shakedown@e-town

Made it to the fourth round and lost by 0.010 at the tree.
Car was within 0.023 all day, and lights were ok, no red for first race in 2 years.

Justus suggested I post my results on here. I have just won the Australian V8 superboat championships (www.v8superboats.com.au) in the restricted 350 chev class. I have run e85 all season with a carbie Justus built for me. I was the first and still the only one to run my boat on e85 but a few of the more knoledgable guys have noticed how strong my engine is running and started asking me about e85.
It is difficult to get a direct comparison due to the nature of our racing but based on my datalog's my boat was about 1.5seconds faster on a 40sec track direction than on unleaded. The engine also runs much smoother and seems to have more torque for pulling through corners.
Cheers
Daniel
