Does A Big CI Stroked SB get to a point where It is hard to keep cool?

There was a Gentleman who had a 472 Small Block Demon
ten years ago, that drove it everywhere and street raced
it several nights a week all over So Cal.

I saw him drive it up to Mopars at the Strip race and his first
pass was in the 9's and he was thrown out for no full cage.
My boys 416 stroker runs 10's in street trim and he can drive it anywhere!
