Dinan typically quotes their hp at the crank with 91 which would put this car around 369 whp on 91. Based on the hardware, you could easily get more HP out of higher octane gas or e85.

Thanks, I would have guessed it was the other way around....

Dinan power numbers are at the crank hp, not whp

Matt was only repeating what was told to him and what was needed to be said

You have to look at where Matt was driving the car. Having driven an 1m with a Dinan package I can asset to it being a bit much for back road work. It's the reason I stuck with the stock tune all these years. The back end runs out lane space real quick with that amount of power.

With suspension not up to the task yes sir. There are much better setups than Dinan's out there that can handle a bit more.

It's very easy to overpower our chassis.

If you want to get absolutely technical... its easy to over torque our chassis. I bet that V8 you have is pretty predictable with your setup.
