Did you do the high flow cats as well? A good set of intercoolers will definitely help you with this problem as well as provide a little more top and performance with the proper tune. Let me know if I can help you with anything!
What you're experiencing is pretty normal for tuned cars that are still using the stock intercoolers, unfortunately. After a few hard pulls, the intercoolers will get heat-soaked and their recovery time can be quite long.
A good set of aftermarket intercoolers (like ours) will use a much more efficient core which will recover from those back to back hard runs more quickly. Our also feature 18 effective cooling and air passage rows, which is 3 more then the factory intercoolers, as well as a full hose kit which both help with the increased air flow needed for tuned cars.
Once you have intercoolers installed, your tuner will be able to "turn up" your program a bit as well, which will yield you an average of another 50-60hp/tq at the wheels, which is always nice.
The only challenge you'll face with our intercooler kit is the upper connection to your IPD Y-Pipe. Since the IPD is longer then the OEM, it will not mate up directly with our upper carbon fiber pipes. However, the boys at IPD should have a solution for that, as they've recently installed a set of our coolers on their own company car.

The Champion intercoolers work great. I have them in my car. No more heat soak
