130* F is pretty good. It is also worth knowing the ambient temperature so you know the kind of gain you get. Summer IAT will be higher than winter, according to outside temps. How much higher than ambient tells you something too. My WAI is over the cat too, but not enveloping it like this. I get 45-50* bumps over ambient. I have an alarm set on my UltraGauge for 150* so I can keep it from getting much hotter than that by cracking the hood (my "active grill shutter").

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
