The oil? Why would you have suction when checking the oil ...your car has to be shut off to get a accurate oil reading .

No, I meant while I am ALREADY UNDER THE HOOD checking the oil, I check the intercooler operation as well.

Unfortunately those answers suck. Listen to those who agree... Something isn't right. Your activities are your problem. Car problems are ours to help with. And that ain't right... My IRL (bought for $2900) with 177k miles, the original clutch, bad axles etc, and a non working IC pump easily did ~195 kmh a few times in about 10 minutes, was definitely heat soaking, but if you can't break that it isn't running right. I think the guys saying log it are spot on. Oh, and should probably find a new way to check your cars performance. Send an oil sample to Blackstone too, never know. *shrug*

I know something isn't right ! That was the point of asking what people thought my problem was. And my activities are not my problem, with out a tune shop in my area there is no way of knowing what's wrong without going up on the highway and running it all out. And " log it" you say ...with what? I don't have logging tool or have anywhere here to log my car we have a gm dealership that I wouldn't take my wheel barrel to. I'll go with my new ic pump and my new H/E and then see if my problems are solved before my stage. Thanks for the input
