Taking Freshly Installed VT-2 525 to Roebling Road tomorrow

I'm finishing up the install of my upgrade kit , taking me from Vt-1 to Vt-2 525 this afternoon and will be giving it a proper track shake down on Saturday. I liked the VT-1 but especially in the southern heat and humidity it lost a ton of torque especially toward the end of a 25 min session (despite good oil temps with a E63 M6 oil cooler). Thus after two years of tracking it in Vt-1 trim I decided to upgrade (I didn't like the idea of 200 degree intake air temps anymore either). I have a ton of time at Roebling so I'm pretty darned quick there , so I will give it a proper thrashing. I will report my peak oil temps, delta on my straight speed vs the old kit ( best ever was 147mph on 50 degree morning by Aim Solo gps ) and total lap time delta ( best 1:20.8).The straight will be interesting as I redline in 5th at 147 with my 4.1 gears , so i will have to shift to 6th . Stay tuned....
Cheers
George
