It depends what they are looking for from the car. I am not concerned about peak HP in my car... I run Tons of DE events so I am more concerned with longevity and drivability then peak HP. As you go over 300hp you start tearing other components up on the track if you are running long hard sessions.
Just my 2 cents

A free flowing exhaust is not going to damage anything. And if they are worried about not exceeding a total power level, then they could have achieved a safe, reliable power level without mods like Standalone E-manage and a Kokeln Stage 5 turbo.

Maybe we should collectively write them a letter, telling them what thier best options are for the car. (Since they are clearly clueless as to how to mod the car to it's full potential!!)

heck, I will be happy if they just finish the updates. Years ago when I still subcribed, they quit updating a Mercedes 450SL "project" and a 911 slant project. Just poof--nothing, never saw mention of either one again.

I can confirm he (it is only one guy doing this project, his name is Pablo) is running an AFM link box masaging an MAF hotwire signal - all put in by Vision in Laguna. I saw it in under the dash when it was in at Precision Motion in Riverside (nice shop BTW).
It seems this car is currently in a frame straitening shop in Riverside after he crashed it recently. I wonder if he will mention that in the article
Pablo also did the turbocharged 3.2L M3 project for European Car.

You mean the 3.2 liter M3 turbo conversion that he very quickly blew up and also went through a bunch of heads. I just hope he doesn't pay for all this out of his pocket. What a nice job to have.

If this guys known to crash project cars and blow up engines and ruin parts why they keep going to him. I do have a feeling theres gonn abe some Porsche politics in this project and its gonna cause them to either downplay the cars performance or just not go for the potential performance to make the 911 readers happy.
