So far been on the track 3 days. Running at 90% or less as far as effort goes no issues. Going all out after 5-6 laps at Buttonwillow, temps are very high. 2.0 I believe is supposed to address some heat issues with the boost decay feature.

Eh, like a turbo car on a road course.

Yeah half a dozen days. Temps same or lower than other 6mt coil cooler'ed cars.

V2 is a lot more track worthy not because of the additional power, but the far more linear power makes corner exit much more controllable.

Fine. But use octane booster or race fuel (blend, if not all) to avoid pre-detination.

Yeah, I mixed 4-5 gallons of 100 with usual shell 91 out here.
