Yeah, then he added on the EBS X-51 baffle - more details in his thread (it is a big thread and many pictures are gone unfortunately due to photobucket...)

I’ve been tracking my car (VIR) with R compounds for years and in addition to track events have been completing up to 20 autocrosses/year. It’s been living this life for 7 years or so, with no extra cooling or oil modifications (stock cooler, stock baffle etc) and I’ve been running Mobil one (not the best). It’s never had a problem, it’s outlived most of my buddy’s non-Porsche engines. I don’t have any “tricks” I redline it, don’t pay any mind to long sweepers and don’t have any oil gauges. VIR doesn’t have any banked corners per day but the car does pull 1.28 Gs in hog pen due to the elevation change. This all being said it’s probably on fire as we speak...better go check on it

@truegearhead. I suspect a lot of people do this and get away with it. People tend to talk about what goes wrong. If something works as expected they generally keep quiet, and nobody makes money on solutions that way either. Thanks. Then again, maybe your driving style is better for the engine. My plan for next season is to follow your example, with the exception that I do have some mods in place.
