im pretty positive everyone who pops 4th gear is keeping the gas pinned when one of the front wheels is off the ground. The stress of that wheel coming back down while still full throttle is just too much stress.My current custom 93 tune is limited to only 25psi (full bolt on OEM turbo & fuel system) and makes 375hp and 399tq with plenty left in reserve. So pretty close to your estimated 100 octane numbers on Wtq.
I exclusively track mine at those power levels and often run 96 or 100 octane just due to pump availability at the tracks.
There would be plenty more WHP and WTQ in my current setup tuned on 100 (especially if we push past 25 psi). Let me reach out to my tuner, EB Tec and see if he feels like we should try a 100 octane tune. If he thinks it will be safe and reliable for the summer track heat, I'll give it a go. If not, I'll report back his thoughts and potential negatives.
One huge negative is once that wtp gets much higher, our 4th gears become the weak link.
I think a little mechanical sympathy will go a long ways there
I’ve had a 2017 CTR since 2017 and now moved to a 2021. I’ve tried just about every combo of cooling mods to stay cool on track and finally have a solid solution. With a secondary radiator (among all the other cooling mods) it’s staying cool at track events going HAM the whole time. Think a 100 octane tune could give some great extra power and I’m not overheating so why not.
Just worried about the motor being ok with it
Kefi went MIA or I’d be talking to him about it. Might go Pepo for it
