You can even switch between tunes and can have a lower power 'safety tune' and a higher power 'street tune'. Then take the rest of the money and put it into heat management - you already have a good start with that oil cooler. Vented hood, upgraded radiator, etc. It also depends on experience and how hard you're going at the track - someone like CSG Mike will really push things harder than your typical track afficionado, and your track afficionado will push the car harder than folks who go to the track a couple times a year.
Just saying, but I can't WOT any more than anyone else can in a given car!
