Potential issues for hot upcoming track day?

what's 93 octane :P

im sure your tone is tongue and cheek, at least im assuming so.

Alot of people dont run more octane then tuned for on track and depend on the Knock sensor and ECU to pull timing in the case of detonation, im just of the belief why even get to that point, hence i run more effective octane then what im tuned for.

Same with the Oil temps, yes ive hit 260 pre oil cooler, and yes 3 years later my motor is still kicking, but id much rather not be operating at over 240 degrees on track.

Another thing, depending on driving ability and chassis setup, the amount of wide open throttle and load on the engine per lap varies from owner to owner, less experience guys may not hit 250 oil temp till 8 laps in, more experience guys may hit the same temps 3-4 laps in. So there are more variables then what can be discussed on a forum. I guess if you're having fun and not getting towed home by AAA, you're ok
