Years ago, Sam talked me out of tuning my car for track duty. Things may have changed, but back then he told me I'd have heat soak or other heat issues within a few laps with any tune he could make me. Tuning the TTS is best suited for drag and street.
For the last three seasons I have been tuned and cat-less with no problems. The car is much more consistent compared to the stock tune and runs much cooler in the Arizona Heat. Talk to Sam is has tuned several of us for track events. SamboTT@ByDesign

im already ByDesign Stage 4+. Naturally i produce a lot more heat. We’re at the limits of the current setup so i was about to move to non-vtgs. But with a recent deal no going through, we’re now in a pinch before the next time attack event

OK, that makes sense. I know Kong is stage 4 also. You might want to PM him. He might have some ideas

Best quick fix for time attack, install a second snowperformance pump tapping into your same methanol pressure sensor and direct two nozzles on your intercoolers. If you want to avoid putting a water tank tap into your windscreen wiper reservoir. You will see IATs drop by 50F

This was long time ago, the only thing I have handy is attached here.. also adding the invoice of components I ordered for the water spray ( provided you have the methanol setup already). Simple to install according to my tech back then.
One of the best efficiency improvements I have done. With this and methanol You will not see any timing retardation whatsoever. Power will stay intact throughout your lap. I actually dropped to a 22-24psi tune from Sam and got faster lap times.
I can't abide by the "just as safe" using the 3-point and airbag if you are at 120mph plus. If nothing else, at least make sure you can wear a HANS device somehow. I've seen some people pretty banged up without harnesses and a HANS. Permanent injury is not a risk I'd take if I'm going full bore. I know of 2 people who broke their backs in track incidents with OEM safety gear.
I agree. I sometimes get grief from the guys in t-shirts, shorts and a helmet. Yes, it’s often hot and a full driving suit makes it even hotter. And at a minimum, I use a Simpson Hybrid if there’s no ability to use a regular Hans. But too much can happen.

Hey Team,
SO, one of the key areas of concerns would be the EGT. I moved to 68mm VTG's from our beloved @SamboTT@ByDesign with CSF intercoolers, Do88 inlets, and a full catless Kline inconel system (equal length manifolds and exhaust). Inconel not only handles heat but dissipates which helps the heatsoak. My request to Sam was to limit the torque to save the tires and to keep the IAT's low. At VIR last year, I thought the IAT's were too high and the car went into limp mode. What actually happened was that it tripped the EGT limit. Sam followed back up with some adjustments to smooth it out some more and from there, I've not experienced any issues. This past weekend at Summit Point (97F air temp, 104F heat index), the car ran strong without pulling boost (the tires gave up before the engine did). Non-VGT turbos might help you make bigger power but my fear is that the car begins to drive like a Hellcat on track.
No matter what, you want better thermal efficiency and while we all can crank the boost up, compromises need to be made for consistent performance.
Most of you track rats know that we all can add power and buy time with stickier tires but the best time is seat time. The value is tightening the loose nut behind the wheel! Keep driving fellas!

nice. Any new track videos running the larger turbos?
