Lossing performance?
Does one lose performance from the engine giving it constantly WOT at a road course track with just an ECU flash, and no intercooler upgrades ?

even if the car is stock, let alone chipped, especially at a track, once the car is warm, the heat soak will be noticeable.
car will feel abit more sluggish. now the higher boost you run, the more sluggish you will feel since you are generating more power and then in turn more heat.
in addition if its a hotter day and youve been running longer the car will be breathing hotter air, which in turn will make the car feel slower compared to your first few WOT runs.
the better the intercoolers you have, the less of a "sluggish heat soaking" effect.
