Smile Is my charge temp too high??

as above, im runing a 2.0 zvh which im going to rebuild to a high spec, at the mo I have a pace intercooler, the charge temps are 35 deg c, this is at night when the air is cold. is this too high? car is running 15psi at the mo, when its finished it will be around the same pressure, maybe a smidgin more.

Any help would be great
