Yes, on several levels. First I wouldn't be running it that hard until the tune is 100%, but I'm sure they err on the side of safety. Second, either stop racing people on the street or stop posting about it. Word it differently to avoid abuse here. Lastly, keep a closer eye on your gauges. You should have backed off it and let it cool down between runs. There's no reason to run it into limp mode. I hope you're running a good synthetic, and I'd change the oil immediately if it were my car. And people wonder why I won't buy a used sports car.
