And also what Corte said. I believe it's at like 600whp that after that things become super expensive as you need to upgrade your fuel system, drive train, plus things just break a lot quicker at higher power levels.

Plus, with larger clearances, including bearings, there's a lot more wear on cold start. At those power levels, it won't make sense to drive the car on anything other than a Sunday to and back from the track.


I'm not adverse to a more responsive low end power band that results in a quicker spool. I hit full boost by nearly 4k. frown
