The only way I'd consider a project like this for the track is going with a shop that can show you a reference that's doing what you're looking for in a track setting. Im not saying dont do it. Im saying make sure you find the right shop to help you work through all the problems. There are more then a few. Its not as simple as just solving fueling.
Note: my stock zl1 1le w/ just a7s was a second faster then the 2650. He had effectively one lap for two days.

Taking extra precaution is a big deal for a track car. The headers should be ceramic coated and wrapped. The wiring harnesses should also be heat shielded. You learn this stuff quick as the track will find the weaknesses very quickly. The more power you put down the quicker you find them. I think the power levels the 2650 are capable and meant for are a bit to extreme for most tracks.
