I think for a really talented driver boost may be better in road racing but not necissarily. I think the average driver n/a is plenty of power...remember road racing is not about hp but suspension,brakes,chasis, and last power. Keep this in mind i raced a 160hp n/a 944 spec car and posted quicker lap times than my stage 2 (220whp) WRX at Limerock. Granted that was on Potenza RE-01's and the 944 had Toyo RA-1's but the point is i had almost half the hp but more grip, better balance, better brakes, and less weight. Thats what the Toyobaru needs to be.
