Under these conditions, what really matters is post IC temps -- that will tell you how efficiently your IC is working.
IAT's are good to know too, but the really critical detail is the temps after cooling.

Also, my experience shows that turbine housing flow has a lot more to do with IAT's than the size of the intercooler.

Interesting -- although that may also be due in part to the kinds of coolers being run. Are these air to air or air to water coolers?
