Autos do not have a VFAD so you shouldn't have to take off the front bumper for the install.

ah i dont know, its his choice really. hopefully he did some research and know that going in.

i knew that info going in and while i do feel only a little bit more pull, i still do think that it was worth it.

No, it's definately his choice, but I have raced plenty of 8's with standard bolt ons at the track and have beaten every one. wanna get faster? Get better tires and learn how to drive.

i completly agree tires are a much better upgrade to a real racer. learning to drive better is probably the best upgrade you can do.

for just recreational (can think of a better term) person i think its an ok purchase

If he gets the ram air duct, he'll need to remove the bumper though.
