There must have been something wrong with his stock HE. I have hotlapped mine many times and have stayed within a tenth of each pass. When I want to be within a hundredth of a second I'll let the car cool down. At famoso I hotlapped within a 10 minute period 3 times and ran 11.890's each time. Not only the fastest times ever ran, but within hundredths of a second of each other. It was cool either. The temps were in the 70's-80's that day. Now if your hotlapping in 100 plus degree weather, your asking for something to break.
