Thanks for sharing. I installed the V09 mod at the end of the season last year as my oil temps were getting too high. Looking forward to being on the track and just focusing on driving and not what the oil and coolant temps are running to.

Numbers look great. Coolant temp looks excellent, too, and should keep the engine at its highest HP map.

My highest MPH and fastest lap was the last lap, so it wasn't pulling power.
