You will just have to make accommodations for the fact that you are going to push the engine hard repeatedly, without any time lapse. I dont know how often you will track the car, but it might take you a really long time to catch up to me, as far as how many times you floor it through a few gears in a row.
You will need to make sure that water temp and oil temp and air intake temps remain stable. If any of those cannot remain stable, then you need more radiator, more oil cooler, or more intercooler. The higher boost you want to run, the more you will strain those systems. I would consider running high octane fuel for road racing, since elevated temps will degrade stability.
Overall life expectancy should be reduced since you are expediting your engines abuse. I could maybe estimate that you might put as much abuse on your engine every lap as I do every day.
I would recommend gauges with configurable audible warning, or some sort of display on a full size LCD screen head unit like some guys have, where you can display them large and easy to read at a glance.
You already know that you need to stay out of fuel starvation, and youre already on top of that. It would be nice to have a way to log fuel pressure and oil pressure, to check for drops/issues.
