the reason they put hair dryers on is to give better performance through the rev range, not just up high! Going off what they specify in racing (Going off modified production), X 1.7 fora turbo, compared to NA. The T should kick butt every time, tuning, air flow & fuel supply is where the T is restricted from Ford! I haven't seen a stock xr8, GT-P, DJR 320 go faster than any of my stock T's at Willowbank yet. Last time I was at Willowbank there were a DJR & GT-P racing each other, and they were between .5-1 sec slower than the T! Russ
