Like I said, this debate is as old as time itself.
Back in the day, tons of people (mainly internet bois) swore that Rota wheels were total trash, yet there were many motorsports cars that ran them with no issues. I personally worked with a shop that had the fastest Time Attack car at the time...
More data points....
I've done 19 track days this year with around 500whp. So far so good. I'm pretty sure there are more sustained WOT events in one track day than a good amount of people just driving on the street do in a whole year.
You want fresh air moving through the car. HVAC doesn't really matter as there are vents in the car anyway. You wouldn't be able to close the doors or hatch without them.
I can see were you might think that, but that is not correct. Attachments are solid like OEM, if anything, SS lines can bend tighter than OEM without kinking.
Those timing curves still look so bad. They should be a smooth stair step increasing with revs. The fact that they are going up down like a saw means the car is unhappy.
