I run run race gas for these events, that should take care of any octane issue.... and I plan on staying at basic/lowest boost

run good gas, and make sure you stay away from detonation and don't get too greedy and overboost. If the car survives a real hard dyno pull and the data logging looks good, I would not hesitate.

I just came from the wanna go fast event in ocala florida. fast cars turn around 140 in the half mile. real fast cars 150-165... insane cars 170-200. a new zr1 clocked 170. a twin turbo lambo hurican ran a mclaran 720s and wiped it out. the mclaren had run 169 unfortunately the timer did not work for the lambo but it must have been very close to 200. lots of demons running. 150-168 average.. those demons do have lots of power. they spin at mid track even with the factory drag radials.
