I usually always short shift to an extent. I always play it a bit on the safe side on track days. I rarely hit 6k RPMS, have never had any overheating issues on my N55 even on the 90 degree days. Oil temps have never been above 270. I haven't run with the heater on yet eith

I have a ATB LSD and not a Mechanical LSD. I have noticed since I got the LSD that my rear pads aren't wearing nearly as bad as when I didn't have an LSD. After a couple of track days my rear pads use to be worn down to 25%. Since I got the LSD they have maybe only worn to 80% on 3 track days. Im going to contact an independent shop tomorrow to see if they can code out the engine power reduction due to the sensing of overheated brakes.
