I don't know how it compares to the Elite 8 but compared to my Elite 5, it's stronger for sure pushing a 8 1/2 lb OFNA almost as fast as my 7lb, 10oz MBX6R with the Elite 5. BUT, the Elite 5 seems to be faster on top and all through acceleration. Might be the weight difference though, my 6R is stupid fast.

Both cars have the same 9901 pipe but the OFNA Picco w/Paloma has the 41021 header and the 6R w/Elite 5 has the 41020 header.
