id start with drag radials and put your fan on a switch so u can turn it on manually and leave it on in between rounds

Fan switch and lower thermostat is the first thing imo.

My moms mustang and mine love back to back passes at night. As you said can pick up .10 to .15 I suggest get a programmer and have the fuel curve "cleaned up" that seamed to help me the most. Or get really good with seat of the pants feel when it does it then hit the brakes no matter what. I have had this problem for 15 years with my EFI fords

my truck would do this but usually on the 3rd of a back to back to back runs. I put a 180* thermostat in mine, and had an electric fan on a switch to keep it running at the same temp all the time

bill, heat is the big issue with your car, bring a small fan to place under the front of your car. How does the car do when you run one class

running one class its pretty good as long as theres a 20 min window or so to pop the hoodup.

Also, a small sprayer will help to , just on the radiator, try to keep car from running so much in the 'lanes'
OO don't use the sprayer while in the 'lanes' Ha Ha

bill you can listen to whoever you want but i have been bracket racing EFI mustangs since 1996 and winning with them  DO NOT OPEN THE HOOD in between rounds. use a digital temp gauge and run the car at 186 degrees |

I had a stock Cutlass that I fought that did the same thing many years ago. I found the car was more consistant if I raced it hot. It was a little slower but much more consistant than trying to cool down between rounds. I'd usually just let it idle in staging lanes and keep it at a normal operating temp.
