I have temperature issues under control and its still happening to me. It would rarely happen like 1 in 3-5 track days when I was VT-1., now that I am VT-2 525 I've actually done it on the street when i was testing temps on an old runway (It happened almost every lap when going 80% of my usual pace at the track) . Hit the top of 4th near redline after going WOT through 3rd and 4th gear and blamo there was my old yellow friend. Oil temps were 215 and intake air temps were 105 with water temps of 192. Oil pressure was good as well. And I have taken the fuel pump out of the equation with the Aeromotive 340. My bet is on fueling but I think its tune related. We will know for sure on Tuesday though.
