[QUOTE="UnleashedBeast, post: 10835710, member: 112023"] My car isn't setup for road racing, mine is for drag racing. Van's car is for road racing, and he also turns the power down to remain in class. He has no problem with limp mode and never pulls timing (using 98-103 octane). Technique plays a large roll in controlling heat buildup too. The KB 3.6 liquid cooled setup also helps. Most Shelbys will begin to pull timing around 100*F IAT2 (stock tune spark retard point), but not until 140*F IAT2 temps with more aggressive tunes (like my 93 octane tune). My car may see a 2* retard at 100*F ambient weather hot lapping (over 140 IAT2), but nothing like a stock radiator and stock HE setup. I do have a race tune for 100 octane that will not pull timing at all since the octane levels are present to prevent detonation. I do agree with the post about supercharged cars are a pain in the ass due to heat soak and limp modes. N/A cars require much less efforts and expense to make them effective. [/QUOTE]
