Rob,
For 950 HP I am not sure. The pinch you refer to looks larger in the picture than it really is...also, the pipe is deeper at that spot, so the air is not really pinched, as it appears. Here is another angle where you can see it's not pinched at all - the pipe is much deeper at that spot to compensate.

Whether is brake fluid, lines, maybe even better rotors (cracking), weight, suspension just about any car will need some work because they are still built for the street and not for driving enduros at the track.
BTW I'd be down to do some road course comparos.
. All that HP wont help you much when it comes time to turn. 700 hp is a hinderance because you cant put the power down and would get owned at most tracks by stock GT3's especially for you guys that went to RWD.

If the part isn't flowed then it is just a guess. It may or may not be good. Since your heads ultimately determine maximum flow (power) it is best to start there. Everything else can be adjusted.

Being able to have a car with 140+mph traps is just the way a 996TT should be.
