How much does heat kill yall's car
How much does heat kill your power? We went to dyno an 04' Dodge SRT-10 Pickup truck with a paxton supercharger . The truck also has our valvetrain upgrade. And a B&B exhaust system.
It has aftercooler with a cooling system built into it. But when it gets hot I can tell it does not feel near as fast as on first start up. By a longshot.
Anyways, we still put it on the dyno yesterday with it extremely hot, and it put down 657rwhp. The reason we had it back in was to install a nitrous kit onto it also. With the kit jetted at 50hp settings it put down 723rwhp.
Truck runs pretty damn good, spins the tires in 6th gear
But I am wondering how much more it would have put down without the nitrous, if per say it was cooled off.

Make sure a GIANT fan is getting enough air to the radiator and intercooler. I had dyno operaters melt my engine. They had a fan but pointed it wrong (I was not present). They did not know a F-body was a bottom feeder (sucks air from the bottom). Truck sounds really fun!!
The difference in my old setup when it was nonintercooled was horrendous. Even with the meth it would go from lighting the tires up from a hard downshift when cool outside to barely getting out of its own way when it got to 85* plus. This was with a 675 ml meth nozzle.
