Any clues how much IC cools IAT's...?

I have a bigger heat exchanger and with stock boost it does a very well job at keeping the iats under 130 when really getting on it and it being 90 out.
with a dead pump I was cruisin at around 160d and would skyrocket to 190-200 in no time once boost kicked in.
the H/E keeps the iats around 30-40 above ambient on boost and around 10-20 above ambient just putting around.With a good pump and stock car it works out pretty good.
Mind you this is a fully warmed up on stock pulley and it being summer out over 85.

OK ... any clue what temps are before and after the IC? Trying to work out what delta this delivers and at what temp range..

The equation you are looking for is " PV=NRT"
Which is:
P = Pressure
V = Volume
N = Number of moles
R = Reynolds number, a constant
T = Temperature
What this all means is that when you compress air at say 10 pounds of boost, you will see approximately 120 degree rise in temperature over ambient air temps. AKA on a 80 degree day, the temp after compression will rise to 200 degrees. All temps in Fahrenheit.
So with that said, the IC is dropping approximately 60 degrees Fahrenheit. I am basing this on what others from this forum have said their IAT's are at under boost.
Keep in mind that I am rounding things off.
