Lightbulb Methods to lower IATs

Im running 997 gt2 rs intercoolers but I'm still have trouble with heat soak.

If it's that bad still I would look at adding water/meth injection.

Larger intercoolers? Under what conditions are you seeing heat soak that badly?

Why are you assuming it's heat soak? And how long do you work out? 2m30s?

Something else is not right. It's not your 997.2s. On a warm day it takes me about 4 hard laps of continuous full throttle upshifts (8+ mins) to notice a drop off in performance due to heat soak and even then it's only about 1 second per lap. No way will you saturate them on the street driving to the gym.

Make sure the air box and scoop on the deck lid are sealing correctly by adding some D Shape stick on rubber weather strip

the only power loss you can feel at city driving is a def engine compartment fan......

check if this fan is running / and the level 2 is working with durametric
