As far as the conversation about torque, these cars do make more torque than most Ferraris. I wouldn't worry about torque so much as horsepower.

Anyone checked out this manifold? Claims to not lose any torque as the BOSS intake does. http://www.lethalperformance.com/201...-manifold.html

That intake is designed for 8000rpm shifts. Doesnt lose anymore torque than boss and increases high rpm power. Alot of extra spending me make it work. Alot of people claim makes awesome power 5000 rpms and up

Add boost/nitrous. lol.

The Boss intake was designed for the high revving Roadrunner motor in the Boss that was meant for the road course racing moving the powerband upwards.

Longtubes and more gear are a good way to add torque.
