BBKs, when they weigh more than what was OE, will actually sap away hp. Example... the old Integra Type-S lost 12hp with an Alcon setup. BUT, out at Buttonwillow, VIR, and NJMP it didn't fade a bit.

RWD setups don't experience the loss as bad as AWD and FWD because the lighter brakes are on the rear.
