Me
Jokes aside, at a mile up, there's a noticeable drop in power (NA especially). Having said that, i would be hesitant to tune a NA Porsche car that revs to 9000 RPM. I'd improve power to weight by reducing weight (battery, wheels etc.), Dundon headers, exhaust etc. That way you get a little more HP, no/minimal risk, and a better weight/HP ratio. I'm a fan of tuning turbo cars and i did mine - 20 months ago. But that's a whole different ball of wax.

I would be nervous to tune a 991.2 gt3 motor given how strung they already are and the fact that even with 20 hp not sure what thats' worth vs having stock warranty. Granted for turbo cars...I've done it a few times because thats a LOT of new HP to play with even on conservative tunes 😂

Do headers with side muffler delete, lithium battery, 19in lightweight wheels, and you’ve optimized everything worth doing and in a safe way you can enjoy for years.
And you don’t have too worry about blowing your engine and then getting denied for a warranty claim.

Really no reason to mess with tune unless you want a quick way to get your warranty denied. It is not meant for drag racing so just learn how to drive it faster. Most folks don't even use 8/10s of cars performance.

GT3RS 520hp
GT3 493hp
only difference is map. You’re not doing anything more than what’s already been done. adding tune to GT3 will put you where the RS is. It’s really not that serious.
how did those non tuned 991.1 motors work out?

Hey if you're comfortable tuning for 20HP - that's entirely up to you. For me - I wouldn't do it for a bump that you will hardly notice / won't notice. And you could get more "power" by simply reducing weight / then adding Dundon in stages if need be. Thats what I would do - purely my opinion.

Different issue for 991.1. Design flaw on finger followers etc. They could have had 450 HP and there would have been issues.

We do have a way to make a cloned ECU so that you can swap it back and forth and not void your warranty. It's good on it's own but is part of a forthcoming package including further intake mods for big gains. We're also have 4.6 and 4.8L engine builds for the 991.2 cars on the 6-9month horizon.

RS is 520 hp but GT3 is 500 hp.
if you use bhp values then RS is 513 and the GT3 is 493.
