Thank you! Valves are getting adjusted along with a fresh oil change. 93 octane is tough for me to find around town so I'm sticking to 91 which the new SW chip is tuned for...
I'm sure the 930 is just as fun on boost. I was told not to drive one until I'm ready to buy one LOL!

Well, I say to you, find and drive the 930, then call me to continue the care of your M491 for you. The turbo, at full boost and banging through the gears is simply pure joy to hear and feel the relentless torque throughout the entire RPM range. It pulls so hard up to and through redline. Honestly, it was hard to lift off the throttle when I would hit through all gears on the interstate or long straights . Too bad my 88 only had four gears, ah, lucky few that own the 89 G50 cars . . .
However, in town, stoplight to stoplight, it was an absolute dog. No power, no pull, no excelaration what-so-ever. A kid on a bike could take lead off the line. But, when 3200 RPMs is achieved, it was game on!
I installed the FabSpeed "dual" outs and it made the 930 truly howl on boost.
You have found an absolute stunning car. Enjoy her and keep driving as much as you can. Congrats

Great to hear you're loving your setup! Beautiful car!
Hey Frank,
The wheels have been stuck in customs but should be released soon so hopefully get them put on in the near future. I did take the car out for a shoot with some professional photographers so posting a few cool pics. BTW, I saw you are rebuilding your motor to 3.4 so please let me know the details!
