Default Turbo 5.3 cool down time between runs

HEY GUYS, JUST CURIOUS SINCE THIS IS MY FIRST TURBO CAR. HOW LONG DO YOU TYPICALLY HAVE TO WAIT TO RERUN AT THE TRACK? IF YOUR TEMP IS NORMAL DO YOU JUST GET BACK IN LINE OR ??? IM ASKING BECAUSE I KNOW ITS NOT GOOD TO HOT LAP CARS , ESPECIALLY TURBO CARS FROM WHAT I'VE READ. SO BASICALLY WHATS YOUR PROCEDURE? I WANT TO KNOW THIS FOR BEST TIMES AND CONSISTENCY OBVIOUSLY, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY DON'T WANNA BREAK ANYTHING. SORRY IF ITS A DUMB QUESTION BUT I AM A TURBO NOOB

Depends on the ambient temps for me, but I run back to back as much as possible. As long as my iats and tranny temp looks ok I beat on it

You can set a car up to deal with constant thrashing

Or you can not know what you are doing and not have it setup properly and thrash it

He is asking a legitimate question and all youre doing is stroking your own pathetic ego. You arent helping him.
