ITB's?

Ok so even if there really wasnt an adjustable cam on the intake side, if a CAI improves 15hp u would think ITB's would ad a nice touch as well.

They work best at high rpm's and considering the fact that these cars rev around 7.5k I am pretty sure it would be advantageous for track days etc...

I just know that on a track an good ITB setup will smack any FI setup because of throttle response and the fact that 330hp ITB'd will still smack 350hp FI.

While the FI setups will be around 500hp I see lag as an issue. But on a tight nit track the FI wouldnt be able to get to its top end/higher speed range and therefore fail in actually beating the ITB setup.

Now on a track like fujita or laguna seca the FI will have an advantage but a track like Infeneon Raceway or willow spring's the ITB in theory should be king.

Of course with a skilled driver!

And there's always the fact that they look cool as hell and they sound mean as hell lol.
