It doesnt sound like much but but 10 percent more power in a light car is a big difference.

For comparisons sake

My BRZ(tq300):
2700 pounds / 225whp - 12 pounds per HP

My Sti
3400 pounds / 270whp - 12.59 pounds per HP

My Wrx
3250 pounds / 250whp - 13 pounds per HP

My Rx8
3050 pounds / 175 whp - 17.42 pounds per HP

Gti stage 1
3160 pounds / ~230whp? - 13.7 pounds per HP

Buggati Veyron SS
4040 pounds / 1200hp - 3.3 pounds per HP
Very interesting indeed, as I did similar calculations when I had the kit. There are other variables that are important as well though such as torque to hp ratio, power band, gearing, awd/rwd/fwd, ability to hookup ect. All of these are important to consider especially when coming from a stop and or drag racing.
