Shred Jesse had a Time Attack event on his summer schedule with OnGrid, and with the day consisting of two back to back days of pretty similar weather... it seemed like the perfect time to test out his DIY WingLogic setup versus the podium proven 9LR C5 Corvette offering.

As I started to experience some rather significant overheating problems during various track days, I began researching all of the different options out there folks are using. I then decided to put this article together to help others, or even just collect my own thoughts.

Sort of... the devil is in the details! Let's start off by addressing the most common thought: The GM Engineers knew what they were doing... but had some restrictions.
