was my understanding at least some of the boosted setups come with an improved radiator .Heat soak is inevitable with boosted cars. Despite it all, even turbo/centri cars experience heat soak. I truly believe you should be more considerate of your goals/power/torque curves than anything. Boosted cars are inherently always fighting heat. However, there are plenty of ways to fight it.
Enclosed air boxes that draw thru the grill and avoid under hood heat.
Lower T-Stat temp
Larger radiator
Roush vents w/ cut outs to ventilate the engine bay
Grill delete
Coolant bypass mod
The list goes on..
One thing I noticed from some of the cars on here that battle high IAT's is that they aren't PP cars. The cooling capabilities of the PP vs Non are pretty substantial. Especially when you observe the radiator by itself.
But yes more boost = more heat requires more cooling..
