My car is slower when its hot outside

I forgot how much hot weather 85-90 degrees affect a fds performance.My car feels like 50 hp slower (butt dyno)then when its a 50-60 degree day.I still boost the same in the heat,but it just dosnt run like a scalded cat in it.

run water injection, you will have ambient intake temps even during the most hot days. heatsoak is a thing of the past.
