Patrick,
They are BRIGHT! This was taken in a lit shop. I spoke with Scotty at Advanced Automotion.com. We are going to cyro treat the main shaft and harden 1st and 2nd. I'm adding a .60 final drive while I'm in there. I'm keeping the stock 3.37 R & P. I like the ratios, just want a taller final drive.

George, that looks killer! Any chance she'll be back to you by the end of the month? :P The girlie and I will be taking some time off to come back to Tucson for a long weekend. Regardless, it'd be great to see you.
BTW, been meaning to ask if you have any pics of the TRS wing? Really excited how the car has progressed; this is one of those times I really wish I was still in Arizona!

George, great to see the pictures of your beautiful car. I don't think there are many on the road that look any better regardless of price, well maybe an ENZO, but you don't see many of those. While the trans is apart, you might look for a 3.4 r&p. The gear spacing with that in the 968 box look really good to me.

But yes -- let's definitely get together. If not for dinner, then at the very least for a beer or lunch...or both.

The HP goal is around 500whp using 91 fuel with similar TQ as low as possible. We expect to be running 17-18 psi boost. I won't be running this motor to 25psi. This power can't be really used in these old cars. We have no TC or other means, as stock, to control wheel spin to allow traction.
We completely changed the intake, designed a vertical intercooler, and other things that the engineer's felt would help with spool, air temps, and flow of air to the modified head.
I wanted a RELIABLE track/road car. Not a big dyno number. There isn't much you can do with these cars with over 500whp. There is a BIG difference to having 500whp at 6500rpm, but max tq coming on close to 5K. I want max tq by 3500 or so, with a positive boost guage by 2K. These cars are much faster when you design the parts around the motor and it's original intent.

If I remember you are running the 968 transaxle with a solid flywheel (no dual mass) and an unsprung hub clutch (911 style) – that could make for some ‘extra’ noise from the transaxle.
It does look nice!
