Need advice on engine setup for track racing

When i get my IX, it's main purpose is circuit style tracks, and AutoX, i have NO intentions for drag racing. SO my question is, whats a good setup for the track and will keep me in a good powerband from 3k-redline. I also want to be able to data log (injector duty cycle, egt, knock, load, speed) so any suggestions for a piggyback or stand alone? I would like to switch bewtween a daily driver map and a track map so i'm guessing MBC is inconvient so EBC must be factored into the maps (like AEM and the boost control) As far as suspension don't worry about that (i'll post something in the suspension threads), i just want to have good exit acceleration and nice fast strights. Money is of little to no consideration, it's going to be a daily driver seeing frequent track events, and i have no problem swaping a AEM(if they ever come out with the IX version) for a stock ecu and changing back all the components. I searches but there doesn't seem to be many track oriented evos, just super fast drag evos

BTW: My original plan was upgrading the turbo becasue i wanted 400whp but if anyone can vouch for the stock turbo being good for 350whp, reliable, and a good daily driver, then please tell me.

Stick with the stock turbo, you'll give up too much throttle response with a GT series turbine. Go with a Buschur Stage IV and call it a day.

Go ask Vishnu directly. They have an entire forum on here.

As for your question about the stock turbo, don't you know the IX has a never-before-used turbo? No one knows what it can do yet, so we can't answer your question. What we can tell you is that the stock 03/04 and stock 05 turbos can push 350 reliably on the track and for daily driving. We can only assume that the 06 turbo is capable of the same (if not more), since it has surpassed all previous year turbos in all tests thus far.
