It looks like there will be some Interior diameter limitations? Just curious if this is big enought to flow enough air for example in Craig's GT 950 car? Look at the top, seems to be a pinch?

Rob,

For 950 HP I am not sure. The pinch you refer to looks larger in the picture than it really is...also, the pipe is deeper at that spot, so the air is not really pinched, as it appears. Here is another angle where you can see it's not pinched at all - the pipe is much deeper at that spot to compensate.

Whether is brake fluid, lines, maybe even better rotors (cracking), weight, suspension just about any car will need some work because they are still built for the street and not for driving enduros at the track.

BTW I'd be down to do some road course comparos.

. All that HP wont help you much when it comes time to turn. 700 hp is a hinderance because you cant put the power down and would get owned at most tracks by stock GT3's especially for you guys that went to RWD.

With AWD I had no problem getting the power down and as I already said above handily took out a Noble which is suppose to be a great track car with light weight and mid engine. This was at Grattan which is a short track as well.

Buddy didn't you used to race proffesionally? Maybe you are just a better driver that the noble driver.

I dont see how you cant actually get 700 hp to the ground without full slicks unless you have a perfect setup meaning dialed out understeer and no oversteer. IMO if you dont have problems putting the power down there is more left in the car and this certainly applies to 700 hp.
