I call B.S.:
a) I haven't heard of any 355whp elise turbo kits. The highest horsepower turbo I'm familiar with is Ronin's.
b) There is no way you posted the fastest time of the day on those tires, having not driven the car much before. Unless you are a wicked fast driver. In which case you'd be winning in your region in a Lotus anyway. That much whp would not really help for autocross, it would only be a liability. Unless you car is totally designed around the horsepower, like Fred's national champion XP monster.

The tranny, diff., and axel can't handle that much torque for very long.

That kind of bragging you gotta back up with some evidence like
1) dynograph
2) video
3) link to results from autocross

IF what you claim is true, then MAD props. But I'm not convinced, yet.
