These guys are all about making the most horsepower possible.
Here is one consideration with the Turbo Supras and Buick GN's. They are built for drag racing. That's a 10 second pass with plenty of cool down time between runs. A street setup has to contend with idling in traffic in 90 degree weather. After running a car hard and then idling in traffic, you'll notice less power the next run due to heat soak. A proper setup must take this into account and provide the coolest air possible, without compromising other considerations.
