Default Magazine article on modified 991 GT3

A few days ago I saw one magazine that had an article on a black 991 GT3 modified. I can't remember which magazine now. Any ideas? Also, any other such articles or cars out there that I can read about?

Trying to get some ideas. Already bought the Sharkwerks pipe.

Thanks.

I remember reading an article (in Borders bkstore) back in early Spring about a tricked blk, GT3.
Some CF bits, reprog. PDK, chip, etc.
I think it was a Euro Pcar mag like Total 911,
hope that helps...

Found it. Porsche and 911 World. Bought the issue. Not that great. The owner just painted everything black and supposedly tweaked another 12 hp. That's all. My car with the Sharkwerks is probably more modified!

Some guy named Schikora tuned the ECU.

Heh. Some guy named Schikora managed to find 12 hp that Porsche's engineering team over looked.

You get more hp/torque gain by putting high quality 200 cell headers, without messing with the ECU.

I don't get why anyone would tamper with the ECU and void their warranty for a measly 12 hp. Probably could get an equal performance gain by going on a diet and loosing some weight!
