The 16g has a great powerband for a road race car, but at this time, I am willing to sacrifice a little on the bottom end to be able to pull on the straighter sections. For boost, I want to stay in the lower to mid 20psi range and am not sure I will be happy with the power output of the 16g at that level (maybe I am wrong though). Also, if I decide to do SCCA or NASA, I will likely have one of the slower cars in the class regardless of how good/bad I drive.

The closer tracks, BIR, Road America and MAM all have decent straights so I should be able to generate some speed. In the viper, I was able to get into the 130s on the short course (BIR) and over 150 on the long course. I am sure I could probably do a little better on the long course once I get a little more seat time.

I will probably start selling some of my viper parts to put towards this car. I have enough in parts to put down around 800-900whp with the viper, but I don't see any good use for that power.
