you can't really compare a paddle shift DSG flappy b****cks box to a full blown race car head banging whiner! I mean you still have to heal and toe with a proper seqential (unless you're a crap driver with no mechanical sympathy)
i never press the bearings out of front hubs, always scared of bending/snapping them, i smash out the insides the weld up the race then tap it out with a chisel, they press in a lot easier too
problem is as i have said, by limiting it to Cup suspension 60mm hubs you're instantly making the series more expensive than it needs to be! a 182 cup/cup packed car goes from £2K say? A ropey 172 can be had for £500 if you look hard enough, instant saving IMO (ok a £500 172 might need a bit of...

its a weird sliding scale too from memory, you pay the 2-3% or whatever premium per event or anually, then you crash, you pay the 10% excess and they cover the first £20K of damage, then you have to pay another excess i think and they cover then next £20K of damage etc etc, something like that...
think we're even less now, pair of fronts (SNR - they're the good ones) are abour £40 each and its 1.5 hours to do both (£81)
but if its cup suspension 182 the bearings do cost more at around £55-£60 each
real world figures you can subtract around 7hp from the ones you've posted, without spending thousands you won't be much above 180-183 on a good day, again being realistic
i can sugar coat it and say you'll be up at 190 but the i'd by a liar
