If BBI Exhaust will take a 5.7-5.9 car down to a 5.0 - 5.2 car then I'm getting a BBI so I can go from a 4.8 to a 4.0 car 
You shouldn't have any problems. I ran a new ZX10R and a modded newer GSX-R1000 and put 5 cars or so on the GSX-R and a lot more on the ZX10R. That was without brake boosting and I also may or may not have forgot to shift into 4th for a few seconds LOL! Lil Powell goes "Man they stopped your pull for a sec and then you started walking again" I looked at him and said "Did you hear the rev limiter for a few seconds?" ... "I hate you so much....."
The guys were cool though they came up to the stop light and asked how much power the car made and I told them and they both said "Holy ****!!!" at the same time LOL! They may think twice before picking on a Porsche with straight pipes on it LOL!!!

Since I ran the 5.79 I have installed upgraded TB and plenum, full blow through Proto maf, 5 inch IC's, 83 lb injectors and the BBI exhuast.
BTW, it is my understanding that my car is now programmed for brake boosting.
I will also be running 1.65 bars, and I have never run my car over 1.5 before.

So he has about 160hp??
You should win especially if you take the race as high as you plan to.
Mount a video cam pointing back!!
Good luck and be safe...

Engines don't ping at 1.5 with Todds tuning.But nice try. You probably have been hitting 1.65-1.7 in the past & did not even realize it ,due to the fact you can't possibly stare at the stock boost gauge while racing.
Your car has not had a Greedy EBC that allows you to read the last high boost run,so that means you have no idea what your boost amount has been, but the way you turn up your boost in the past I would bet it has been as high as 1.65-1.7 bar.

In addition to that, the stock gauge doesn't seem to be very accurate at high-boost levels.
