how to prevent heatsoak?
Can you guys describe heatsoak, I was doing a few runs with some friends, mid way car basically got slow and slower lol, started to feel less and less boost as it heated. How do you prevent heatsoak?

Get yourself an upgraded intercooler- probably the best way to improve performance due to heat soak.
Are you stock or tuned? Also, make sure you have an upgraded oil cooler before you start banging around in the car. Earlier 335's are notorious for going into limp home mode at some point due to a lack of an oil cooler, especially when pushed to their limits. |

Bigger more efficient intercooler. Basically heat soak is when the intercooler absorbs so much heat that it can no longer cool the intake charge because there is no temperature differential between it and the air it is trying to cool. Hot air is less dense so less power.
