Loss of power due to heat

Post by daltar08 »

So its 80 degrees here for some strange reason and i noticed after driving my 96 850 turbo for awhile my performance went down. mods are IPD short ram, Silicone intercooler hoses, IPD turboback, and ARD green tune, my driving is as follows, woke up drove my gf home 8 miles, 8 miles back home, stayed at home for about 45 minutes drove to go fishing another 8 miles, fished for an hour drove home with a long detour 14 miles, thats 38 miles with 1 hour 45 minutes of rest for the car, i let my car idle for about a minute or so before shutting it off, when i got home everything under the hood felt hot, the inter-cooler hoses even the short ram air box thing. even the tube that brings air into the air box felt hot. would this account for the noticeable drop in performance, decrease was noticed in last 6 miles of driving. any tips or mods to help with this?

thank you all.
