If the goal is to find the outer edge of the vehicle's operating envelope, this upgrade certainly qualifies. Best reserved for a non-daily driver without budget constraints.

Just curious, what makes this build a non-daily? Based on the articles and videos, I got the impression that this is Dinan's daily. Anyway, ignoring the tune, just looking at the wheels and the coilover suspension kit, it seems reasonable for a sleeper that does both commute/city in addition to some spirited GT trips.

I haven't driven this mod, but I was planning to visit their shop in San Jose on my way north after my delivery in southern CA.

They’re not exactly the same. I have no idea what’s inside the casing, which may indeed be exactly the same, but there’s a presumption there. Regardless, one of them is going on my car. Just not sure which one yet.

Here’s your 750-900 HP, whatever, sleeper of a car. Daily driver.

I love this car.

Didn't say much in the video.
Looks like he sales a piggyback or you can select software package.....piggyback is the simplest. He offers a heat exchanger as well.....very expesnive (CarBahn) vs his old company Dinan (doesnt offer a heat exchanger)
