Ok I live in AZ and we all know its hotter than hell here. So my engine heats up real quick because the temp outside, and the hotter my engine gets the slower the car gets. Its nowhere as fast as when I first star the car and boost it. If I boost it when its hot it seem to be running real hard. Is it normal to be runing slower the hotter your engine gets? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/blink.png https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

How hot are you running exactly?

Think intake temperature charge.

hotter air is less dense, so you will make less power

Turbo cars seem to have it worse than n/a cars when the ambient temps are high...intercooler needs a shot of R-134 https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Front mount helps but then the radiator gets the abuse and engine temps go up. that's my problem when it gets really hot.
