Could it not be an idea to change the map automatically to the High performance map when the oil is warmed up? (I don't think anyone want to WOT with cold Oil) or a method while driving. Its not to comfortable to stop and restart the engine.
I know I could also control my foot but that's hard sometimes
Or you could just drop the valet mode, and keep the rpm's low until your temp gets up to at least 200. I mean, that's what I do now with 1.45, and what I'm planning to do with V2 (eventually...still waiting).

Believe me I totally understand not being able to "control your foot".....It seems like I look at my temp gauge more then I look at the road when I first get going.
