1. RMP? RPM?

The VQ37 has a known overheating problem; additional/larger oil cooler SHOULD fix it. Limp mode AFAIK, is a lower RPM isn't it? I havn't personally run into it so I'm not sure.

2. aftermarket seat rails may be an answer; if you are dedicated to tracking the car and are willing to give up the electric adjustments, you can probably get a few inches lower.

Additional recommendations for Streets of Willow:

Baffled oil pan
Oil sump

These are (relatively) cheap preventative mods that will save your engine on the Bowl; it's not really an issue at CCW, but it is in CW. I have had friends blow stock engines with oil starvation.
