More @ Mcrews:

True I rarely ever go to wot but I am a racer at heart (even though I haven't raced in over 10 years...) and even though the mods I have planned are aimed at fuel economy, there is still a bit of overlap into motorsports functionality, particularly the aero. I'm still kicking around the idea of hitting a few autocrosses and possibly an open road race as well.

Basically I want to reduce drag, increase efficiency and, if possible, increase torque output while moving the peak lower in the rev range, hence the exploder cam and intake. I may try to improve the weight distribution a tad while I'm at it, but nothing radical. I want the car to look stock or close to it.

I'll be tinkering with a few aero mods over the next two weeks since I'll be off work.
