I recall somebody a few pages back using the Jackson Racing radiator with this kit and had intake temperature problems due to increased temp under the hood. The solution ended up being a heat wrap for the airbox and intake tubing, plus the addition of some foam around the edges of the radiator to funnel air into the right places.
Edit: Here you go:

My IATs went from 115 degrees to 145 degrees. I think it's because the radiator isn't ducted the way the oem one was.
I just put some foam weather stripping around the radiator today and plan on testing it out. To see if that helps.
I think this big bad radiator is heating the air in the engine bay more than the oem one did due to its increased cooling capacity and the intake was sucking air from the engine bay around it following the path of least resistance.
The airbox was also very hot to the touch after a little bit of driving so I may end up heat shielding the whole intake right up to the pulleys.
EDIT:
Also I will be testing it out at Roebling Road Raceway June 4th and 5th so I'd like to compare results with you. I won't be able to log it, just take measurements at the conclusion of each run.
I had the line kink issue as well, we had to massage it to get them to not kink the same way you did.
We also reused the OEM cap because the Jr cap didn't fit properly.
