If you are worried that your HP is not high enough, I can put those fears to rest. I ran an incredibly large wing and splitter on an na 944 for a couple of years in Nasa GTS 1 where it is all about power to weight ratio.
I set several track records and won the national race in 2011.
Now, starting last year, I have a 2004 GT3 Cup and I ran it stock last year. This winter I just added a much larger wing set at roof height with uprights that I have made (I sell them too, shameless plug) and a large splitter.
I have only had the car out once so far at VIR, but I can tell you the thing is a bullet in the corners. I end up faster at the end of the straights, but that is because I am launching myself out of the corners about 10% faster than I was and braking is a no brainer. I can move more than one brake marker up.
Here are a couple of pics of my cup and my old 944. (remember, look at the uprights on the Cup)
Thanks

Just wanted to show the angle I was running the wing at. Is there a better tool to measure ? How's it look ? Car was on as flat a surface as I could find.
