The main question: Can you afford putting the STI into the wall at 80 mph on track? Youve spent so much money into that thing, it would be a shame as (I dont know your trach experience) but one of your learning times you one-wheel off and it throws you into a wall.
Or you could be stupid and like me, I will be tracking my daily driver
A few questions though:
I know the STI probably has an upgraded radiator, but do you have an oil cooler setup? Or even a Moroso Oil pan? With how much power your pushing down I would suggest either or both of those. They not only help cool the oil, it also allows you to have another quart or two or oil capacity.
Do you have any warning systems such as an accurate water temp, oil temp, oil pressure gauges?
These are some thingss why I wont be able to make it out in October for the last track event of the year (among other duties like B/F duties). My oil cooler adapter fittings wont be here in time, and I also dont have the car tuned or have all those gauges properly setup yet. Yes I can watch them through my laptop on my "standalone" but on track its gonna need very big annoying gauges.
These are some of the things that you are gonna have to worry about with power. Hell I would almost think you should do a tranny cooler setup on that transmission, with you having so much power...
