Intakes are being dynoed today hopefully.

We're working with a popular/reputable brake pad manufacturer to get some better pads developed.

If I hear anything else that can be shared, I'll post it here!

Any why does this car need a different clutch? Isn't like it has enough torque to hurt anything. Are stock clutches failing already?

Curious to see what kind of gains can be had with I/H/E combo and tune!

I don't consider hp/L as being very relevant unless you're racing in a displacement limited class or live in a country that imposes material tax penalties above a certain displacement threshold. Had Honda made an F25C w/ more power, a broader powerband, but less hp/L, it would have been clearly superior IMO.

2.0L 4-cylinder boxer engine makes 200 hp at 7000 rpm and 151 lb-ft of torque at 6600 rpm......
