Well, according to every service manager I've spoken with, intercooler is fair game. Most if you talk to them will even recommend it for longevity. Checked before I bought, intercooler, oil catch can, colder plugs. So, talk to your local service manager and see what he/she says.
Try launching at 2.2k - 2.5k, I was getting too much wheel spin higher, actually being a little more gentle on the launch improved my times. Also, short shift first at 5800 and ride 2nd to 60.
