My apologies for the thermodynamic sidetrack ....
That is a good reduction in temperature. Where are the MAF and IAT located in the air stream ? Also, you never posted a tune ... what are you running the the 5.3L with ? PCM, E38, E67 ?
no maf the iat is after the cooler right before the intake
I took a very quick look at your tune. You are running an EFILive COS3 OS. Do you have a WBO ? How have you been tuning thus far ? It appears as if the Boost VE table has not been refined beyond the initial setup.
Can you post a log of the stall event ?
You may get more hands-on support with this if you were to post on the EFILive forum.
Compression = friction = heat I get that, but 110* reduction in IAT I had no idea it could be that much.

no wide band i need to get one bad lextech helped me and set up a starter tune it runs good now but i know it needs a lot more tuning it wouldnt run over 5000 until i changed injectors and put the intercooler on it here is the log of it ideling

That is quite the project. Did that start out as a manifold mounted supercharger?
At any rate, why is the throttle body before the supercharger? All the air volume between the throttle body and the engine will really mess with your throttle response.
It's a whipple sidemount it was not designed to have a intercooler it was a short distance between the throttle body and the intake before I tried to put the tb back on the intake but the supercharger makes a very loud farting sound when I did I have the same setup on my silverado ss I had it tuned and it runs fine but he won't tell me what he changed
OK … as a preamble, my posts tend to be to the point, but no negative connotation is intended nor implied.
At the outset of this project I recall two things in particular. One, that you had a similar setup in another vehicle that operated well, but that you had purchased this tune. Two, I recall a “spirited” discussion regarding tuning options - MAF only, SD only, and blended MAF & SD (OEM style).
Fast forward to the present … your induction configuration does not include a MAF sensor, which effectively eliminates 2 of the 3 tuning options. This is not a problem for an experienced tuner, but is not an optimal situation for a novice tuner. A novice tuner may find a MAF only tune as the most simple way to begin the tuning process. As experience is gained, working with the VE table(s) becomes less intimidating. Eventually, this may lead to migrating to a blended tune (MAF & SD), or even to a pure SD tune.
The tune you posted is an open loop (OL) SD tune - which means there is no fuel trim afforded by the PCM via the narrow band oxygen sensors (NBO). Again, while not a problem if the VE table and / or MAF table are highly accurate, it is generally not the most forgiving configuration for a street driven vehicle. Properly used, the short term fuel trims (STFT) can be very beneficial.
The above process requires the use of a wideband oxygen sensor (WBO). I would not run this engine at all without a WBO connected. The posted tune with respect to airflow, is virtually stock, and is not representative of the engine’s new forced induction airflow dynamics.
The question you need to ask yourself is, can you reasonably learn how to tune a forced induction engine, within the time frame allotted for this project. With an open ended time frame, a WBO, and a great deal of self-education, I have no doubt that you could do it. Sometimes a quality dyno tune is money well spent. Just something to think about …….
When you finally obtain a WBO, I foresee future questions regarding how to connect it to your V2, and how to configure the PIDs.
There was a gentleman on the EFILive forum that would walk people through their tuning projects from beginning to end. Sadly, he passed away.
I have neither the time, nor the inclination, to provide support at that level. I try to answer questions, point people in the right direction, and assist with their decision making processes.
If you decide to try and tune this project on your own, I would recommend not running the engine further until you have a WBO connected.
its going to be a track car it runs great plugs look good no detonation it just wants to die if i let off it fast i know im in over my head tuning it but i hate to just give up because something is difficult i appreciate the help.
Sexy!
Before the cooler did the air run right in front of the radiator? Just wondering how much of that temp drop was compressed air and how much radiator heat?

It came out of the side toward the intake went straight into the intake
