2017 Ford GT350

I own a 2017 - GT350 and absolutely love my car. Obviously, I love the GT350R as well. Love seeing that car beat just about everything on the track. However, I have a question.
If you take a stock GT350R vs. a GT350 w/Cup II tires to the track, what's the gap?
I haven't been able to find a direct comparison, even stock vs. stock.
I have to believe the majority of the gap is tires. Then you have CF wheels, aero, springs, no back seats and slightly different suspension tune.
If Probst ran Laguna Seca in 1:36.11 in the "R" I'd guess he'd lap the "Non-R" between 1:38 and 1:39 on the Cup II tires. Do the back-seat delete, install "R" springs, and add camber plates... 1:37 to 1:38?
Depending on the track the additional aero could help or hurt. A lot of high speed turns the aero is great, a lot of long fast straights with low speed turn it hurts.
I'd love to see someone take a stock GT350 and add one "R" component at a time and get a track time for each. Then take a GT350R and get a lap time without the CF wheels to see the difference.
And this is not meant to flame any "R" guys, I think that car is the bomb for it's rarity alone! Only reason I didn't get one was I plan to Mod my car and it didn't make sense to do it to an "R".
Thoughts?
