I suppose my little motor "might" fit within this thread, but I won't admit to it just in case insurance companies are watching. 
Fresno has been over 100F for the past several days. I've been doing some high temp "testing"--stop and go for several miles each late afternoon. With 800 miles, the 10 to 1, pretty radically cammed beast runs at about 180-185F. Runs on 91 octane just fine and starts very easily--cold or warm. I've got the idle at about 1000--I'll probably lower it a bit. Drivability is just fine. Haven't completely floored it yet. I'm actually a bit intimidated by this beast and I don't mind saying so.
I'm not gonna talk traction while I still have regular 15" tires on it. I intend to destroy the rear ones at the Fling and put on a set of Hoosier TDs when I get home to finish off the autocross season and do some stuff at Willow Springs and Buttonwillow.
