It stayed cool while the Hellcat started to heat soak. Not completely sure what was done to the Hellcat, but I'm sure part of it heat soaking has to do with the modifications (spinning the blower faster).

As long as you don't increase the boost in the ZL1 with the stock blower, it'll probably stay more or less like this.

Yeah if you don't mess with the boost on the ZL1 you'll also never stand a chance against a Hellcat that has mods. Intake, Headers, and Cam, and your supercharger isn't really helping you anymore and is mostly being a drag, probably more than it's giving back. A done right car will never have issues with heat soaking either. For example, a properly modded car will do Pulleys, and Intake for the power, but the rest of the mods help to lower that boost pressure (Not power, lowering PRESSURE), (In some combination of the following) Head work, Camshaft, E85, Meth, Heat exchanger, ported blower, ported snout, ported TB etc.
