Do you have any dyno charts available for the public?
What was the highest boost and power you ran on the dyno?
I think I saw you ran 1.55-1.6 bar on the track?

Would be interesting to compare to my engine.

In Rods case and Patricks, gaining 0.01 of a second could win them the whole race (in class or rods case the whole event)

Also need to think about building the intake to suit + Injectors, new vacuum lines to the intake.
lol, just take the stock exhaust manifolds and flip them upsidedown, so their "outlet" is pointing towards the RH headlight...add injector bungs, attach throttle body, and go

We ran about 1.5 bar, no I don't have any dynos that would make sense on the internet, (never finished tuning it anyway) I'll look in to that later. I meant by that comment that it makes a lot more power than my 3l 8 valve did down the bottom, even being 16v and with a pretty decent sized cam.

Thanks, I'm wanting to do the same thing with my 968 for extra oil pan clearance around the crossmember. I know it's a pretty popular route with the Cobra replica guys.

Howdy...always enjoy the 968 cars, this build is something else. Obviously we are yet to really see it sorted and go 10/10ths.

Any chance you will bring it out to any events soon?

I doubt it'll be at any club events unless we need some testing time.

Sometimes things go slow when the deadline seems a long way away. We just have a few issues to work through, and my pockets are not as deep as they once were. A few weeks yet I think before we run it.

Would assume the flow characteristics wouldn't change. 380-390++++cfm would be my assumption.

Please keep us posted and for God sakes we need more pictures and video.
Keep it up.
Are the classes the same in AUS as they are in EUR?
Assuming Patrick is in another class I think he said. Would your be the open class (or pro) like Gustaf?

Classes go Pro then Pro-Am then Open then Clubsprint. I'm in Open and this is clearly in Pro. Main differences are more concessions to Aero, weight, paddle shift gearbox, tyre allocation numbers and of course you can have a Pro driver.

That's a lot of flow.

My 2V LS7 heads flow that at approx .685" lift".

Shows the benefit of 4V heads...! Amazing at such a "small" lift number.
