The intercooler fluid and blower gets hot and the engine starts pulling timing to compensate and not hurt itself. The ZL1 is not immune to this was the point. You go to any auto cross event and look at what all the big dogs are running. Usually not a PD blower.

The ZL1 runs cooler than you might think on track. Airflow was maximized in the tunnel with the ZL1 and tested extensively for road course use. The result is a FI motor that likes to run hard at speed. At the drags or an AC a ZL1 will get hotter than it would running the Ring or most any track due to lack of air flow except for short bursts.
