x2 mine shuts down automatically if i go over 1500 egt.

good advice area gives. although people with methanol can just up the mix ratio from 50/50 to 60/40 or 70/30 without touching the tune. Also warm the car up to operating temperature (180) before WOT runs. EG on the work drive like an old lady til the temp is right. Our aluminum blocks are not very forgiving to warpage transitioning from cold to hot quickly.

sleeves and head are the most prone to the destruction of the temp change.
