So all the LS engines suffer from heat soak. I think the timeslips from the OP show that there is a 4mph difference in trap and I am guessing that is just due to the time he waited in the pit lanes until his next run.
The smart guys pop their hoods and push their cars through the lanes (although they don't like it when you push your car with the hood up).
When you slap a blower on top like the E-force, the heat issue is much worse.
This has been my biggest deterrent against the E-force or a ZR1 for that matter (besides the money of course).
My suggestion to these guys is cool down as much as possible. I know guys that bring nitrous to the track just to spray on their intercoolers to cool them down.
I would love to see one of the radiator companies like Dewitt make a dual radiator setup with properly sized dedicated heat exchanger in parallel to an upgraded thicker radiator.
The one that comes with the E-force clearly doesn't cut it.

If you shut everything down all you really do is severely heat soak the supercharger. IF I were drag racing one of these I'd figure out how to switch the supercharger coolant pump on and the radiator fan on independent of the engine running.
