What does non intercooled mean?

All non-intercooled superchargers operate with an intake manifold temperature in the general range of 115°-200° above ambient (outside air) temperature at 8 psi of boost. The bottom line is that intercooled boost is substantially more powerful and safe for your engine than hot, non-intercooled boost.

What temp should a non intercooled Cummins run?

140* to 190* is about normal. 230* is on the high side and you don’t want to run it there for long. The Cummins will handle higher temps for short periods of time.
