Thanks for the advice guys. I think i will be giving vitesse a call soon. My suspension has been upgraded. I do not remember the name of the components but one of my friends saw it and said it was very good. As far as what i think. It has a firm ride and is nice and tight. I like it.

If I were you, I would send the 1200.00 to me, and I'll figure this all out for you.

What about twin plugs guys? Can this be done on our cars like 911s?



Just askin, if not I'll ask the main forum...

I'm sure it oculd be done, but not for much gain. Especially now with Vitesse having wasted spark set ups.

A wasted spark fires spark plugs in pairs, both on the exhaust and compression cycles. The extra spark on the exhaust stroke has no effect and is thus "wasted". This design is simpler than a conventional ignition system, but the extra sparks reduce the lifespan of components

Its not the same as twin plugging an engine. The twin plugs were used on the 993's because of the very over square design and slow burn.

It started in the 964's and there was never a turbo car from the factory to use a twin plug set up.. fyi..

And that whole thing they had with wedged pistons, meaning horrible flame front to the "other side" of the piston head and chamber. Or on some engines ive seen articles of.
