Heat Soak?
How can you tell if your car experiences a heat soak problem?
Does the car accelerate differently?
Throttle response different?
Less tire spin?
Does it behave differently at the start (1st gear), or throughout the entire run?
Thanks for any information.

Could be wrong....but heat soak just basically robs power all around.
When I ran at the track....I could not tell anthing different, but as the engine heated, just ran slower times....
I have high flow water pump, so times were just slightly slower, but without pump and with mods, it can be pretty dramatic (the slower times) .5 sec or more.
