But you're still only really going to see the losses at the top end. You won't even be getting out of 2nd gear at 90% of the events, top end really isn't an issue.

As far as heat soak, bring a spray bottle and cool the intercooler before each run. It helps for the 1st 9 maybe 10 seconds of the run.
