Question Any FI guys running on road courses?

The FI bug is buzzing in my ear. My primary concern with pulling the trigger is heat and associated issues while running on a road course. Typical drivers ed sessions last 20-30 minutes...full blast during that time. Obviously, there are a lot of heat issues to deal with. I was wondering if anyone has been running their FI Z on the road course for extended periods of time. What are you doing to address the heat issues, and have you run into any problems? Thanks!

I know that Eagle1 has the ATI SC and has done at several track days...Willows Springs and Laguna Seca. He had no problems.

With F/I...I would recommend an oil cooler/upgraded oil pan, and an upgraded radiator. Especially since Willow Springs is usually in the 100degree plus temperature range.

I'm planning on it, when I go TT. I'm planning to install an oil cooler, a larger oil pan, an upgraded radiator, and a large power steering cooler.

Basically, I'm following what the Supra guys do, since we will have the same basic issues -- similar power levels, similar cooling issues.
