Porting of heads and matching all unions within both the induction and exhaust system on one engine of two will reduce the heat loading of said engine at the same power level..........or cause one to make more horsepower at both the same boost and temperature as the unported engine.
I don't ignore any part of optimization.
This also applies to car aero.
We had splitter strength issues at 220mph so I simply suggested we remove it and it's been fine over 260mph.
Your results may vary.

I like that you're tapping brains outside the MBW community for help with this - I was the guy that got to push your car around the staging lanes for Jake so he wouldn't heatsoak just pulling it forward 
Post as BenzoDoc elsewhere btw.
Any time you're running WOT for 28 seconds your tune and fuel are going to be paramount - I assume you're running a modified version of the tune that Jerry made for Brooke, right?
You running an aftermarket fuel rail?
IIRC they ran the car in full trim weight wise, I'm sure that you can probably cut a ton of weight out if you wanted to, but ultimately aero should matter exponentially more than weight.
A lot of guys that drag these cars with the 180+ pulleys pull their front grille out for cooling reasons - but that would definitely adversely affect your drag coefficient.

I hope to have dyno numbers soon the car was supposed to be dynoed today but i didn't get a call so i guess not, the car is not daily driven.

If you're having issues with heatsoaking your intercooler setup you have a few choices. For long races and long stretches of boosting, go with a large air to air intercooler setup. Or if your heart is set on keeping only the air to water IC setup in there then get a much larger reservoir and two large pumps. You need to move a lot of water to keep an A2W IC cool during long stretches of boosting.

How large is the reservoir? How large (diameter) are the water lines? For your type of setup a reservoir around 7-10 gallons is needed to provide enough volume. For the lines, you want at least 1/2", 5/8" would be better. Anything smaller and it's not going to flow enough.
Do you have any type of water temp sensors in the A2W system somewhere to tell you if the water temperature is rising too high? What are your intake air temps at the throttle body (or at the manifold)?
