You have to differentiate between the technical definition of heat soak and the generalized accepted meaning.
No, by technical definition, the stock ic does not achieve heat soak. But it can sure come close at times.

Heat soak occurs when a component reaches temperature equilibrium with the gasses flowing through it.
the only time the system heat soaks is when the pump is not running same for the engine
they can generalize all they want they are still wrong

Curious, then what would you call it when the component is at a much higher temperature than when it started out, but not at an equilibrium with the gasses flowing through it, but still enough to create diminishing returns at a rate somewhat linear to the amount of use it is seeing over a given amount of time? Just call it somewhere in between I guess.

I'm just saying that the entire automotive performance community has adopted heat soak to mean its to the point it's not working very well.
I'd love to see john vs the world but I don't think it would pan out so well
