What additional cooling modifications would be necessary to be able to reliably track this setup in ~110 ambient temperatures? I would like to be able to be at or near WOT for 25+ minute intervals.
I'd be interested in running at lower boost levels, as this kit has more than enough power out of the box to satisfy my needs
I'm thinking larger radiator and oil cooler, but placement, fitment, and actual airflow would be important are all key.
for an extremely well put-together kit.

Long answer: definitely a dual core radiator and oil cooler. The oil cooler placement depends on type (water or air) and what front bumper you are using. If you have an OEM bumper then the area in front of the fenders is no good. Mase is currently using by car to prototype the DBW kit. I have a 330mm Laminova oil cooler ready to install once my car is complete (ARC radiator already installed). I will be monitoring temps and making adjustments from there. If I can't get the temps down where I want them then I'll switch to an air type oil cooler with a thermostat.
The bottom line is that no matter what cooling solution you decide on you need to install temp sensors and monitor it to ensure you're staying within the parameters you want.

Chris... while he has your car he should mock up a V-mount setup. There is still no Vmount option on the market, and its by far the most effective way to keep temps down for track use.

Can someone explain the whole drive by wire thing too me? I am assuming that this kit wouldnt work with my 08 s2k cr because of this problem which i am not 100% sure what it even is. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

also don't forget that 06+ have a returnless fuel system which leads into more complications when you're installing a high HP system. So this isn't quite as simple as using K-pro instead of AEM.

I believe he had 1000cc ID injectors and a walbro pump.
duty cycle at redline was 87% if I remember correctly.
So a walbro and a Kenne Bell BAP might be enough for those looking for 500whp on the returnless fuel system.
