Maybe getting on the highway, racing some hooligan, etc. Try doing it 5 times in a row though and you'll start feeling bad about the car. Frankly, there's nothing wrong with that, it's a street driven car that isn't meant to endure racing.

I bet if you lower the compression to 10:1 and add some more cooling mods we might be track ready. 11:1 compression is efficient at making power quick, but when adding boost your just turning up the heat on a already hot config! You got to find a way to distribute the heat on a boosted app, such as lowering compression. Your going to make a lot of heat no matter what if your running tons of power. My guess is the power band wont be as linear if we drop the compression. Lowering the compression in some applications lowers the bottom end capabilities and does not spool turbos as quick. Not sure if it affects SC's or not in a negative way.
