That I am positive of.

So are you thinking the motor isn't hurt?

I got a good chance it is not hurt. If so, I will be luckiest dude around. I have to go through a bunch of testing to figure it out.

If it was just puking coolant out of the overflow, what makes you think it could possibly be hurt?

I ran it hot. I am trying to figure out exactly why it puked coolant out the reservoir. Was it because I was on a banked track and all the fluid was on the side of the coolant reservoir that had the overflow tube? Whatever coolant expanded into the tank was lost on the banked track? It is possible. If so, I will need to go back to the 2012 and newer Nissan coolant tank. That means I have to redo my catch can setup also which is going to suck but it is way better than yanking a motor, etc.

You're running the SOHO non pressurized set up right now? That's what I'm running

Yes, SOHO just put it on for me.

Turn 1 at Pocono has a 14 deg banking.

As soon as I can get the coolant pressure gauge in I will know.

They used to sell a pressurized set up but I guess they discontinued it

Seems so, I just glanced as well and now there's no option for it anymore. So not only did they drastically raise the price but now only sells the simpler option. Bit silly. Wonder what they do with that extra coolant line then? Just have people cap it off some how?

What details? The car build?

My car did this many years ago at a track event. At first glance the verdict was a lifted head. I did a cylinder pressure test and smoke test. Everything was fine. There was no oil in my radiator or coolant. I took it to Seb and he redid all the test and everything was fine. He found an air pocket in the coolant line he drained the whole system a refilled it. He refilled the system with the front end elevated to make sure all the air came out. I ran fine for the next couple of years without incident.

If you wanted to bring the car here I would install a coolant pressure gauge of choice and also help wiring it in to the ecutek to log for you as well with no cost associated with it :)
