I have a custom FWI, TB Spacer, headers, DP, colder plugs, custom tune..... Does anybody else have or notice really high IAT temps?? I'm consistently in the 115-120* range when the car is not moving?? Any ideas of how to reduce the temps?? Thanks!!

Pics of the intake setup would be good. 120° is not bad for sitting and idling, if it's hot outside already. I think people with HAI's had like 170° in similar conditions, but thats a HAI for ya.
Intake is 3.5" tube wrapped in reflective wrap, with 45* angle from TB to hole in fender well
With my stock box only gutted, sitting in stop and go traffic I'd get to 140* in june. SO 120* isn't bad. Also it is not a big deal for a high IAT at idle. If you start knocking at idle, I promise you it is not because of your IAT.
Cruising around at city speeds still seems high though, 100-110! I live in FL but it's usually around 90* out
That's fine. Your iat sensor isn't 100% accurate anyway. Also remember with a fender well intake, it's not too far from the ground, which is probably like 150°.
He's probably just an accelerated version of me and wants it to be as efficient as possible, even though results are limited lol.
