Here's what I've seen so far:
-coolant-based limp mode: loss of power, followed by half-engine light/engine malfunction warning several seconds later. No error codes other than 3100 (limp)
- oil-based limp mode: loss of power and simultaneous half-engine light/engine malfunction warning. Again it could be my imagination but once you hit 285F, the jump to 300F occurs very fast. No error codes other than 3100 (limp)
- VANOS. simultaneous loss of power and warning lights. 2a87 (exhaust solenoid) and 3100 codes.
I'm also hoping that the STETT oil cooler and a coolant additive will help the overall system survive a track session, we'll see how it goes.

Again, run with the heater on (windows down of course), and that should also help, Significantly.
