Guy sent me some video and lap data from the car. Did best of 1:53 and 110 mph at CMP in Kershaw SC. Track time could be better without other cars holding it back and with driver practice more mods more power etc.

Pretty cool seeing a VT pass other cars many think that it has no chance against. Also funny seeing it pass a VN that's a few cars ahead within the first 30-35 seconds of the track session. VT was hitting 1.3-1.4 G in the corners before losing traction and hit max of 1.8G at one point. Not bad for whats done to the car.
I've got a '14 AT turbo that I take to the track about 3 times a year. I've got the ability to capture data as well. The big issue is that my car is beat about half to death, so my numbers may not line up.

At Road Atlanta, with ambiet temps around 98F and stock cooling, coolant, and motul sport oil, I was at a maximum of 240 on coolant, 265 on oil temps and 260 on ATF temps.

This is a screenshot from my 1st run in the morning

Always good to others getting data. Do you datalog the car during sessions? A good datalog is priceless.
I usually have the realtime info up so I can monitor temps while driving, but I haven't logged any data yet. My next track day is April 13th at road Atlanta. What data would be most helpful?

Is it normal to go from empty can to full can and oil everywhere after 5 laps? It seems excessive.

Oh, I removed the bottom part of the catch can. AFAIK, it's functioning as intended, just way too much

My concern is that I now have an unreasonable amount of blowby. Both the PCV can and breather can were full, and the vent on the breather side is what spewed oil all over my undercarriage, tires, and brakes. I went from a little over full on the dipstick to the L dot over the course of 5 laps. I do believe my piston rings have taken their leave
