I deal with a bit of "heat soak" as well,

I was sitting at the start line, 1/4 mile, at 93 degree IAT's, and finished the 1/4 at 193 degrees IAT.

True it's not "heat soak" per say, but dang the compressor heat is brutal... I'm going to vent my hood for heat/air removal so that I can try to get more air through the intercooler...
