Pretty normal for a stock 'Heaton' being spun up with a pulley. If you see fluid circulating in the intercooler reservoir, it's not vapor locked.

do you have an open filter without a shroud? The pre-heated air under the hood will help push IAT II temps up. What did the IAT show at the filter? If it (IAT I) was much higher than ambient at idle then you may be drawing in hot air. Some folks put the shroud (most vendor CAI) around the filter to help keep the warm air out of the intake.
