Default just picked up a 15' GT3 because of this forum & loving it!

I owned a 05' CGT and now have a 2016 aventador SV, but I was still missing that high revving Porsche NA motor. because of this forum I decided to pick up a GT3 and I am absolutely loving it! mine has the full Fabspeed exhaust eliminating all 3 mufflers and sounds like a beast!
couple of questions: any good mod suggestions? headers, carbon paddles, white LED's etc.. (I need to keep up with my buddies GT3RS) lol
also I plan on doing a few track days occasionally so any advice on driving modes, TPMS, and preparation would be appreciated.
im not a pro driver by any means but I want to make sure im using the right setup & modes etc..
thanks for all the advice!

Hey Bill! Would love to set you up with a set of Race Headers and an ECU tune to get you closer to that GT3RS haha. Give me a call at 215 646 4945, just ask for John Gaydos and we will go over some options

Check dundon motorsport headers and tune. Jamie and Charles from DMS can both sort you out. With their setup the RS will be behind you.

Expect 40whp from headers and another 20whp from stage 2 tune.

Harnesses and bar plus track alignment inc corner balance and you should be good to go. don't forget your helmet and head and neck restraint.

nice color.

OP: Besides an alignment setup , harnesses and bar, and maybe Hoosiers, you need not mess with it. The car is turly amazing as is.
If you really want to keep up with your RS buddies make sure you drive on a track with Loong straights, better yet put the mod. money to good use and hire a pro coach......

This is one of the dyno graphs we have of PhilT3's car, although with the factory center muffler. You should see a bit more power gains running a full competition setup...you brave soul haha
