I eventually added 5mm spacers though, because at full suspension droop (like getting airborne over a RR crossing) the inside of the rear tires would just touch the V-Brace.
The 265s just didn't have enough grip once the blower was installed.
Much better traction now, plus stealth.
Normally the oil temp needle is on or near the 210 mark.
But when I took the picture it was 106f outside, I'd been on the road for 6 hours, was in the mountains between California and Oregon, and had just finished doing some pulls with a Lamborghini.
Also, my oil temps will easily get above the 255f mark when I'm on track.

How did it go vs the Lambo..? |
I came up from behind him catching the pack he was maneuvering thru, he picked up his pace when I got to his bumper, so rather than pass, I tucked in behind him and we were together maneuvering thru traffic for 45 minutes to an hour, between 80-90 mph depending if a pass was being made.
At some point he moved to the right lane to let me pass, then he followed me.
We were in the left lane, just clearing a pack of cars as a looong straight section of open freeway appeared, no cars in sight ahead for miles.
From my mirror I could tell he also saw the wide open freeway approaching, and he closed up the gap on my rear bumper. As we cleared the last car in the pack we were going thru, he moved to the right lane, I was still leading, I dropped a couple gears and nailed it.
He nailed it as well.
He did not catch me, but I did not increase the distance between us.
Acceleration wise, the cars were very close.
(His car sounded WICKED!!!)
