yeah...it sounds very reasonable that anybody that knows that he is buying R compound tires, that he should know aoubt the temp.... thats why i said to jet...remember to heat them up too
you don't really need to heat them up though. Most of the modern dot-legal R-compounds still grip pretty well when they're not warm. They just grip a LOT more when they're hot AKA when tracked
I've never bothered to do burnouts with my R-compounds to get them warmed up. I've found that by the time my engine is warned up, the tires are pretty much good to go as well.

I just finished testing wheel-speed based boost control in Haltech and it works quite well. You can run as low as wastegate for lower speeds/gears, and then ramp in as much boost as you want for higher speeds. This will be another free update, slated for next week.

Hal thats is exactly what I kinda have!
480 for DD, 560 a little fun, and the 700 race map (that I never use cuz C16 is to expensive
).However we just re did my wastegate springs and low boost map and before I was making power to 6500rpms and then it would fall, Now I make power all the way to 7300rpms. Let me tell you that makes a big difference on how the car feels.
I have never had to use my low boost (once when I raced the Honda 954) when I am on the street messing around.
So to answer the question 500rwhp on a Dyno dynamics would be perfect for the streets.

it sure helps that we live in arizona
sure does
downside is, when it is cold outside, I think my R-compounds don't perform quite as well as normal high performance street tire. The compound is just too cold and hard to give you much grip

yeah
i got no choice cuase for the power ill be putting down and what jet puts down... even if you get somethign nice like a PS2 Pzero...etc...it will jsut not get much traction
