Thanks man. Love the flat torque curve.

Tires I have been running a square setup 255 40 17 Bridgestone RE71r. With those discontinued I have my eye on Falken 660s next, very similar. For a track setup I am glad to be able to rotate tires, although realistically as long as the tires are symmetrical (right to left) it would have the same benefit. Even with camber mods I end up wearing out the outer shoulders but can then switch them side to side.

I think with your setup and wanting to keep the car streetable, I'd look for a wider rear tire. I prefer 17s for the extra sidewall and lower replacement cost, but wheel options in 17x10 are limited. I think you could stuff a 10 wide and 275 or 285 back there and come close to handling 2.7t torque

Make me one of them Arduinos?!?!
