Am I asking for trouble?

So I recently added meth injection to my car and power gains are awesome, however, I didn't ask questions like, will this affect me trying to road course the car once in a blue moon. It's primarily a DD with weekend roll races.
I raced bikes before this car and wanted to try the ZL1 on a racetrack where it would shine. I know with the upper pulley, it was already questionable so added cooling mods. Anyone here have meth injection and tried to road course once in a blue moon? Or should i surrender that idea

I would not run meth on road course. One WOT pull where your meth line runs dry and you’” can smoke some internals.

That's what I'm afraid of, I run the smaller under hood washer res and it doesn't hold very much...

You could have your tuner write you a "no meth" tune or if you still wanted to use the Akly system for cooling (by using washer fluid), your tuner should be able to write you a tune for that as well. That being said, on a road course with a lot of WOT and depending on the time length, you run the chance of running the tank dry.
