Since when has anyone made 600whp with a BP kit?
22psi on the street and intake temps didn't get over 103* even behind a stock g35 bumper.
Just Becuz it doesn't happen in your world on the forums doesn't mean it doesn't happen. The same intercooler is also used on other platforms for much higher than 600HP but I guess those don't count Becuz 800HP on a grand national isn't the same as a 350z.... :/

Well some other things you can look at is, you're doing headers and test pipes? Ceramic coat them, keep the over all engine bay temp down. Will this help out immensely? probably not but a good option.
Had a friend Cdoxp800 who did a custom CAI on his HKS stage 4 and his AIT dropped 20 degrees, he moved the intake to right above his FMIC in the bumper area.

Hay Jeff,
What was the Ambient Temp?
My AIT's go up about 30-40* above Ambient in hi Boost, 16-17psi. I don't think it a very good intercooler.

Mine. Waiting for the tuner to send my Dyno sheets so I can start a thread. So far it's taking him a week. I might have to end up driving to get them.

just under 70* outside but logged starting intake temps on the run were right around 80* from previous pulls so roughly 20-25* increase from start to finish. This is will a full bumper and 20psi of boost. I'm sure with an open front end it would make a world of difference but i prefer the sleeper look.

I was Looking at the Temp right after the 3rd gear pull when it went to 124* sitting at a stop light.
So for Me, Outside temp was 85-87*, intake Temp Crusing was 100-104* and at 7000RPM and 17PSI Temp was at 115*, But in Ref to Ambient, 25-30* increase.
Maybe that's not so bad, wondering how Other Peoples Temps Compare?

Not much modification was required. The 5-312 I got was from a turbonetics kit so it already had mounting brackets pre-sized to line up with the holes in my core support. I cut the stock vortech piping back about 2" on each side of the intercooler and put a bead in the ends using a crimping tool from home depot.

^ +1, mine only came with mounting brackets because it was originally part of a turbonetics kit.
just go to home depot and get two (2) eight inch long metal straps from the hardware isle. cut, bend, & drill the straps to fit your setup. you can suspend the intercooler from the crash bar or use the two factory bolts through the core support on either side of the opening for the radiator (thats what i did - see the attached pic of the brackets).
