OK, who believes the 720HP kit will produce the real deal? if so, does this mean it will be how fast? I know its just magazing racing, but fun no less!so what do you guys think?
and how the HELL can a high rpm NA engine achieve a 20% gain in power?

Ben Lj, I respect your opinion more than anyone's as you own one, however I just thought I would add that maybe the reason they went to 5.7 is that they wanted to increase the useable torque as much as possible..just a thought. also, didnt you say in some post that it was detuned from 800 in the early stages as a LM project or something along those lines?

you won't be able to use it until at least 3rd gear (when the tires stop spinning) and it will likely hurt on the track since you'll likely have to wait until the car is pointed straight post apex to give throttle. also, it's real hard to believe porsche left 120 easy hp on the table given the enzo with which they were competing. they had to bore the motor from 5.5 to 5.7 to go from 550 to 600!
