battery charging between rounds?

Guys at the local test n tunes at the track hot lap their cars without slowing down at all. I would try a 180 'stat if I were you.
Sure be worth testing.

Thanks Ed. We do ice the intake between runs to keep it from going into heat soak and pulling timing. That's interesting that they make the same power even when they are warmer. Yes, we will experiment with the 180.
