Don't worry about the oil temp sensor being heat soaked; since there's so much oil flow by the sensor, the sensor would not be impacted by the headers.

I've experimented with fans on my Miata and...

Beyond that, it doesn't interfere with the driver, but it rather augments to make it perfect, every time. In other words, it is still beneficial, even you do blip the throttle yourself during...

GM's REV-match feature is actually not intrusive at all. There's no reason for hate:

REV match is disabled when you start the car. If you don't like it, no action is required.

That example of different pads, "XP12 front/XP10" is not as different as you'd think. They have very similar temp ranges, and they are both race pads from the same company. People do that all the...

My 2 cents:
Running pads with different types of pads that have vastly different operating temp ranges could be hazardous. As the temps climb, the rears will likely behave differently (lose bite...

Forgestars are underbuilt compared to most other spin forged wheels. If you're very kind to your car, you might not have an issue. I wouldn't bother.
