I am saying that if IAT gets high, car will not performn well.
Are IAT going to get high with the stock intercooler? i dont know we will have to wait for datalogs and find out.

Only data logs performed on an actual circuit or track will be useful in this scenario. Yes, you can set up multiple fans in front of the dyno, but you will likely not achieve the same volumetric flow of air as if the car were moving 60mph.
If anything, I think it would be great to log 1/4 mile pulls and see how each successive run affects the IAT and temperature of the intercooler.
I'll confirm what @A418t81 has said. After 6 to 8 consecutive laps at Spa, my intercooler did not experience heat soak. The unit was cool to the touch. <-- Not scientific, but I imagine data logs will likely have similar results.
