I haven't had it move, remember it is bigger than tha hole so it is sort of stuffed in it, but then again I haven't had it over 100 except for bursts.

But racer tape would ensure it didn't move.

I don't think it's unfair to say that FI kits are primarily used for drag purposes, not road circuits. Just my opinion. As for those that run FI on the road course, they don't last long on a hot day.

There are several supercharged S2000s that have run quite a few track events on road courses. Not that they don't have issues with heat, but it's not like they only last a few laps or something...

true, but how often do you just run a few laps? with sessions of 30 minutes and lap times averaging in the 1:40s on this particular track that sees triples digits often, that's a lot of laps. Not saying one would run back to back laps, but I'm sure a FI car would need cool down time.
