Off topic but I have to ask, did you win the lottery recently or something? Either that or you must have one hell of a job to do all of that stuff to your P5. Not bad for a guy from a small town like pembroke!
I have no kids and had no debt

That was two years ago and it's now paied off!!
 
Most of the 6s ATX dyno's were done early in the car's life. (Before 10k, if not before 5k). Its been shown already that the engines take a bit of time to fully open up, and part of the lower then average HP scores could be due partially to that.

I'm current working with a company designing a TRUE cel-less intake and programmable MAF controller, who will be doing baseline dyno of my car soon (6s ATX) on the dyno.

I'll be sure to post those here (My car's almost to 15,000 miles) as well on 6tech.

One thing you can do to help reduce drivetrain loss, is to invest in lighter wheels and tires. Reducing unsprung weight helps the drivetrain and engine work less to turn the wheels, allowing less power to be lost.

As for rallying on the road...take the 6 autocrossing. The car loves it. Its like sex for the 6.
