Thank you, I was able to best a 1:54 lap, a bit off pace from the original 1:52 to laid down the first outing. Second lap, the car still threw a drivetrain malfunction on stock tune, so that is something we will have to get to the bottom of.

Correct. 295/30/18 A052 on a 18x10.5 +20 wheel. Fair warning, the 295 A052s run very wide! Could very well be comparable to a 305/315 in other tire models.

I figured the Voltex wing will be a love or hate sort of deal, I personally love it for what it does, but thank you the kind words are appreciated.

I wanted to eliminate as many variables contributing to the problem as possible. I will tune and add power later down the road, but I first want to sort out the limp mode/cooling issues and maximize the platform to its full potential on stock power.

Disappointing to see how wonky the power mods treated you after all that, but at least the car is smart enough to go into limp mode instead of shooting a rod out the bottom.

Agreed, and you couldn't be more right. It's a blessing and a curse. Frustrating for competition days and bettering lap times, but better than shooting a rod or completely toasting the motor.
