Here is a video of one of my better laptimes at Thunderhill this past friday. I'm actually pleased with the time as my times improved consistently by at least 5-6 seconds from my last day, but know that there has to be easily at least 5-10 seconds I can shave off with my current setup. This is my 3rd track day at Thunderhill and 7th track day overall, so any pointers would be appreciated. For reference, below are my specs:

Tires/wheels: oem 15/16s on Dunlop Star specs
suspension: koni adjustable
brakes: powerslot slotted front and rear, hps rear pads, carbotech panther plus fronts, ATE Typ 200 brake fluid
mods: Comptech supercharger,hi boost upgrade, AEM FIC,exhaust, intake,headers...And Accusump and baffled oil pan for safety, since I already lost one engine due to oil starvation :(

( I was really annoyed at the red car as I had to let off on the main straight and probably lost some time :(. normally I get up to about 125-130mph, but only got up to about 116 on this lap )

Don't brake into turn 8, you can lift, but you are already going uphill and you'll want to carry as much speed as you can into 9. It can be a scary corner and takes a while to get used to not braking, but trust me it can be done.

That being said I run an NA NSX so the speeds might be a little different between what you carry into 8 VS what I carry into 8. I am flat from the entry of 6 until I lift slightly to slow down for the turn into 8 and then back to WOT until the top of the hill (9)
