Again $350k for a Contincar is insane and all It will do.. Is kill the series.

Yea, total B.S.
The best part is that 80mm restrictor isn't doing ****. That 80mm is over 3".
3" Pipe
700 cfm = 162 mph = 0.21 mach
800 cfm = 185 mph = 0.24 mach
900 cfm = 208 mph = 0.27 mach
Having tested many LS style motors for intake speed they average around 200mph. Given that is going to be a Pre-Throttle Body flat plate restrictor you can bet that its still flowing 800cfm.
So 800cfm to Lbs/min is give or take 14.5 so 800/14.5 = 55lbs/min or 550hp
So yea... Likely costing them 1-2hp if that..
