Message	to me. Just did 2000 miles to Texas @ 185 -190 degrees average and got awesome gas mileage. And when I am on the dyno for longer sessions the more pulls I have the hotter I get -200 - 210 (I have a tectom) I lose power - 3 to 5 horse power(@ same boost level) closer to 210. I have noticed this to be true with all cars on a dyno, a loss of power the hotter they get. My car sounds no happier at the hotter temps and is scientifically losing power without doubt.
