I ran my car at 25 degree boost, and 1 degree of motor timing. The car flies. Way too much top end for these narrow car parked, low grip streets. When the boost kicks in, you can see and hear the car buck a little because the tires are expanding. I haven't been able to run this thing wide open to get to top speed, it's still accelerating before I have to slow down. The motor gets pretty hot too. How to keep cool? What heatsink/fan would fit?

For sane driving, I dialed it back to 8 degrees. And increased my punch to 20/30 and 30/30.

Fyrstormer, what tires and rims do you have on your xv-01 minivan?
