Full bolt-on ~405WHP with 4.10 & 8600 RPM limiter vs. ESS VT1 ~460WHP standard diff. Both sound good to me.
On our dyno, we rarely see full bolt-on, catless cars dyno over 370-380RWHP. The VT1-535 on a otherwise bone stock car is usually around 460RWHP, and easily in the 470-480RWHP range with just a catless X-pipe.
