Fact is you could spend a lot of money chasing power with crank, pistons, rods, cams, big valve head, injectors, map the DME for that (have to retain that due to SMG unless you can be bothered to reverse engineer the comms and logic between Engine and SMG ECUs) and lets say maybe you get a real 410bhp (125bhp/L) then at full weight you'll still have a car that is slow in a straight line
I appreciate that, hence why I wanted to speak to people that had gone down that route to see what their real world experience of various mods were.

I know what good suspension and brakes do as I have Ohlins TTX and 378mm water-cooled WRC AP 6-pots / 315mm titanium pistoned Grp A AP 4-pots on my current track car.
