Couldnt have said it better myself. This is the big problem with FI cars. See most people who track prefer NA cars because of the big problem due to heat. There is alot of FI cars but they usual are a big headache and can run in problems and lots of $$$$. Heat is the biggest enemy when it comes to an engine. It just becomes more prone to FI cars due to the enormus amounts of heat generated without humidity in the air. So add the normal operating heat from the FI car and now add extreme amount of humidity and heat that is in the air. Not a good combo. This is why extra amounts of cooling is a must on these cars if you plan on running them hard. Just my .02
