Can one relocate/replace the WOT bracket (and remove the metal peice) away from the gas petal and near the steering wheel or dash and use it as a push-to-pass button? That way, I can choose when to activate it (at only one or two straights) and not have to worry about overheating the controller.

If that doesn't work. Can we move the WOT bracket away from the gas petal and use still advantage of the DR at the track without worrying about the system overheating. @waterbison777 said that when he was going WOT with the system in safe mode, it was running noticeably richer. Would the OTS Stage 1 tune work well when the using the ESC system just for DR? Or does the DR make enough difference to a stock car where a Stage 1 tune wouldn't work well for it?

I think I remember reading that Shiv's tune is based on engine load to determine when the ESC is activated (I might be wrong). Since the ESC may not be activated all the time during WOT, does this mean that a custom tune would be needed for either the push-to-pass or DR-only option?

Just throwing out ideas on how to make it work at the track, even if only sometimes. Or even not using it, but saving the need to swap back to the stock intake tube during track days.
