thanks charliex. I was hoping you'd see my question.

Does your gotham tune assume the intercooler is going to get heat soaked on the track?

Is there some math that tells us the minimum temperature that your gotham tune would still be safe at? Then is the project to find a modification that only improves cooling that much?

Everyone who claims to be able to reduce heat soak claims they can add horsepower at the same time. I don't want anymore hp than the gotham provides, and I'd even stay at stock HP if that was the ONLY way to get consistent numbers. More horsepower is great, but I don't want to upgrade my fuel pump, clutch, injectors, (not to mention superchargers and chargecoolers) because my exige is dropping from 220 to 200 HP on lap two. 220-240 consistent hp is all I need until I can drive better.

thanks
