the 1.3mm increase in diameter is around a 9.5% increase in the surface area of the air intake, somewhat directly proportional to the horsepower increase, at the base hp of 465hp*1.095= 509.2 hp, which is a 44.2 hp increse.. I was off by a bit, I would still take a ~10% hp increase over a 2.5% weight decrease (30kg diff at 1245). this is not accounting that the vette has a 5.5l engine vs ferraris 4.5l, giving it a torque addvantige as well..
