The tricky thing is though that they are also working with much higher stakes and often much higher demands as well.

If your max oil temp is 235, then a 40w seems a bit thick to me. Personally, I'd look at a viscosity chart and aim to have a similar viscosity at track temps as a street car would on 0w-20.

Those are the same tires that came stock on my 2nd gen a year ago... I bet you could find a 2nd gen owner who immediately swapped wheels and/or tires who'd happily sell you their Primacy HPs.

YUP.

Heartbreakers, every one of them.

60psi at 5k rpm seems ok though? I've always heard 10psi per 1k rpm as a good benchmark.

That's a pretty clean looking inlet.

It seems like a lot for 2hp, but it does seem like it gained throughout most of the rpm band. Higher rpm torque looks like the biggest winner.
