[QUOTE="GTSpartan, post: 2777766, member: 21531"] I can guarantee you that a s/c car [B]WILL[/B] suffer heat soak. Thats why you [B]NEVER[/B] see S/C cars running any kind of endurance racing. They run HOT, which is a bad thing. It's a fact. For example, the GT makes 550hp, but the blower uses 100 hp to run, so in theory the motor is producing 650 hp worth of heat, but only generating 550 hp. Intercolers work some, but can't stop it. It happens to me in my car after a few hard laps. It may not SEEM down on power, but it is. The GT's blower is nothing special, or magical, and has all the positives and negatives that any S/C offers. [/QUOTE]
