well I might have to put off the intercooler for a little while because of some other unexpected expenses.

Took it for a drive tonight and I noticed that I really had a noticably higher amount of power when the engine was cold. I know it's not good to run an engine hard when it's not warmed up but I mean the feeling I got when I pushed it at 10psi when the engine was cold was about the same feeling I got when I had it at 15psi. It was really surprising.
Is this just because the whole engine is still cool and it's helping keep the intake charge cooler? That's the only thing I can think of.

The engine's operating temp right now is 210F. Do I need a cooler thermostat? Seems like it'd be 180 or 170 or something. It still ran great at those temps.
