LOL at Jason
Wish I could join you all but the Venetian Macao is preparing to open and I need to fix a few things on one of the systems before I can get any time off. I wish they would just fly me out there but right now they are in the middle of a class 8 typhoon so it's good to be home.

I'm out. Pulled the short straw and I'm working this Saturday. 
Really wanted to see what the RSBarn exhaust, chip and Airbox did on my 968. Car is running really well. Just installed my M030 brakes and rotor's last night and was looking forward bedding in the brakes on the way!

Why not postpone looking on saturday and come up? You can still check out the two on sunday and if necessary, pursue the other cars during the week.

The event was a lot of fun. The day started early for me and Steve since we had an 84 mile trek to Paddock Performance.
Once we got there around 8am, we were greated by Rich Glickel who provided everyone Coffee and Donuts (Thanks Rich! ).
The place was pretty amazing with lots of different Porsches, a LOT of racing cars in different guise and some street cars. Tons of watercoolers. Ken showed up in his beautiful 997 GT3RS and wow, what an awesome color.
Once the cars were moved out of the way and the dyno setup, Steve was the 1st to do his pulls.
Next was John, sorry but I don't have any pictures. He has a beautiful GP white 968 cabriolet, bone stock. After that it was my turn. I started completely stock. This meant swapping the modded airbox with a stock one without any holes. I wanted to do this to get a baseline on where the car is currently.
After the 1st pull, I decided to swap the airbox for one with Dave Greimann's modification. All I can say is, wow!. Cheapest hp one can get in a 968. I picked up a full 4rwhp from this mod.
Then came the big gun, Rich Glickel. He owns this gorgeous track oriented 968 with a few mods and they seem to work quite well.
I don't have everyone else's exact dyno numbers but I walked away happy knowing my car is in good tune. It posted good numbers, especially for a Mustang dyno.
Jason showed up after we were done with our runs and brought along his famous saugage's (Man, they are awesome, thank you!). We had a fun BBQ, with lots of food and drinks. A few other people showed up and we chatted cars for a while.
All in all, it was a lot of fun and I couldn't ask for Paddock to be a better host.
I also had the opportunity to see their new crib that is in contruction phase. This place will be amazing with 19,000 sqft. I look forward to checking it out when its completed.
As a parting shot, the beautiful GT3RS parked in front of Paddock Performance.
Regards.

Nice write up Raj...Thanks!
I know some people think I don't really have a 968...but, it's not true! I really do have one...it's just not there when most people are around.
Glad everybody liked the Arnold's Smoked Hot Sausages.
Sorry for the shameless plug!

Good job Raj. I told you that air box mod was legit!
Super seeing you, Jason, Steve, John and some of the "usual suspects" at Paddock.
Very exciting news about your possible relocation. Although you may want to think twice about getting within striking distance of me, since I will spend the entire winter in your garage working on cars with you
.
Call me during the week and I can provide you with some additional leads.

Damian, no worries. There will definitely be a next time for sure, probably sooner than later.
We all have ideas on what we want to test next. I think to see what works, we will be throwing in some aftermarket chips into the mox to see what we get.
