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.

Pretty sure "the" turbo kit... from FF, comes with a standalone EFI, thus making the car self tunable.
If you see where I'm going with this...
You are however right about the transmission.
