Yup, looks like I'm headed that way. It sucks I work on the weekends now, it's going to make it a lot harder to get out to events.
As far as detuning, I'll have to see if I can fenagle some detuned maps after the dyno runs. I could always just run at like 1/4 throttle... the power I'm not really worried about because I've adapted fine to spirited driving with 400whp... whatever this thing puts out will be just a bit more of an adjustment. I understand track driving is different than controlled spirited driving, but you see what I mean... I'm used to the torque
You think I'll need more of an upgrade over my current brake setup for the track?:
Powerslot slotted rotors
Goodridge SS lines
Motul 5.1 fluid
Hawk HPS pads
Maybe HP+ pads? Would the HPS's not be good enough for occasional track use?
