Heat soak, what to expect

Registered yesterday, I noticed low end torque was really crappy. Was this the timing getting dialed back. Oil got to 1 line over 220.

FYI, The term Heat Soak, though applicable in theory, is usually used with cars with forced air and intercoolers.

^^^^ Yep...

Happens to my Z/28. I have added a Big block Aluminum radiator, and a Aluminum Hi output water pump to counter the heat.

Just as engines run GREAT in the cool morning air, heat takes power away..

Tell me about it, Kenchan. Good thing my 370Z is my weekend toy, still not driving her as much because of the heat, have to wakeup early when it's a cool morning.

It sure is, haven't had any heat soak problems of course, and no loss in HP. There's just nothing like driving when it's nice and cool.

Sorry for using the word heat soak, I come from many turbo toys before the z, even my watercraft. Is 1 notch over 220 on the oil something to worry about
