- I threw out the DCI, I'm alternating between a stock airbox and the Mr.5 offshoot on all runs.
- I'm running 3 bottles of Motul and distilled water in a new (OEM) radiator. The old radiator had accumulated a lot of dirt/sludge on the front side, not sure how/if that affected it's cooling capacity.
- Oil temps are consistently up by 20F (to 270F) this year with the STETT stgII kit, I attribute that to more aggressive track driving.
- I dropped the 4th gear shift to about 5800rpm, no cooldown laps during a session.

So far so good!
What power-related mods are you running?
