On my runs this weekend, ambient was 70*and in stagging, I got to 93*, during my dragging it got to 140*
By the time I got to the hut for the slip, it was back down to 93* You think it could be due to the race gas, does that burn hotter than pump?
Also, another thing I added was water wetter, has anyone heard negative feedback on that stuff. It did not help, so i am thinking of draining it out and running 100% water.

and i say progress because i am certain you are not done 
Dont stress it, just tweak, dont overdo yourself or the car and as some have said is a matter of lower temps, But the traps are definitely there.. and i do see you added skinnies which help your traps by a mph or two.
Craig you have the fastest car in the forums to run 11.0 in 70 deg weather.You will destroy 10.7 in 40 deg weather.
I dont even think locos car hit over 100 deg iats on his record runs with his meth setup and cold drag day.
Dont worry about it and just wait for a cooler day to hit the track again

Typically, a race tune will give more timing, and the timing (i believe) can make the whole combustion process create more heat. Regardless, your IATs seem inline with what I have seen. With just an aftermarket HE and pump, I have seen AITs above 160. You are only seeing 130-140, so i would attribute that to dual pumps and trunk tank.
This is a WOT run from 60 to 130.. about 8 seconds, and as you can see, AIT's are in check. Ambient was 74 degrees.... 50/50 Meth (#10 nozzle)
I know there has been threads for and against, but I lose time with meth turn off. I go about .3 leaner.. but heat kills the run. I could tune out the .3, but I don't. Better safe that sorry.
