Default Heatsoak, pressure drop, intercoolers

I would be interested to know, how HP would compare between asmallerIC suffering from typical heatsoak in hot weather-streetcar, and a larger (not heatsoaking) IC that has say a 1 psi greater pressure drop than the smaller IC? How much power lost with heatsoak, how much lost with 1 psi drop?

I also heard that if there is a pressure drop it can be compensated for by upping the boost, would I be able to easilyup the boost using Unitronic software?

I'm trying to decide between the smaller but adequate Racetec, or a bigger 034.
