Ahhhh... OK, fair 'nuf.
I was thinking 35 to 50 regarding the inlet temp

Anything more than approx 150 degrees (on a 20 to 25 degree day) charge air temp would be a major concern
On a -30 day the charge air pre intercooler maybe would hit 50 ish and would be flat out cracking double figures post cooler

Is that too low air temp for the intake air? Does it need to be warmer when it gets to that low of a temp?

Problem solved. Found a blanket that has an offset intercooler cutout that will fit.
