    Getting hot on track

    Hi guys, need to pick the sxoc brain bank. When i first got my car it used to get hot when on boost and cool when I let off so i replaced the rad for an ally on and it solved the problem. I've since upped the power a few times as it stands now 385 at the fly. I went to the nurburgring in september and within half a lap it got very hot and performance was down and started missing, so I let up and it cooled down power came back missfire went away. That happened on all of my laps so didn't get to set any lap records.....

    Now my question to you is what do I do to combat this and how do I test to see if I've fixed it as i cant get the needle to move past half way on normal roads?
