I already did the work and submitted the data to the list, nobody
prolly remembers after several years, but jeffery is right.  The
performance stays relatively constant over time.  The heat soak
does not occur after the ussual, three hard accelerations.
Stated another way Intercooler efficiency maintained 70% instead
of dropping to below 50%.  The precise number I don't remember
off the top, but you get the idea.  Heat means ignition retard,
lower density, and higher engine temperatures.
