Thanks brotha. Just got confirmation from John and Wayne that the tuning is officially starting today and it's on the dyno. 19 months of this whole ordeal, lets hope it was worth it.
Took about 8 hours on the dyno just to get the I.O. sorted with all the auxiliaries added. They also had to email Motec back and forth which took some time away. They said they will continue tomorrow and hopefully start actually dynoing. I will keep you guys updated as I believe we are finally at the end. Thank you all for the continued support, it really means a lot to me.
Sorry, I don't have any updates. I have officially given up on this platform. Once the car comes back it's probably going up for sale immediately. I'm not trying to support or give free advertisement for vendors who treated me like **** and pushed my build to the curb after they got paid in full right from the start. I have been patient enough and I'm over all the bull**** excuses and stories.
Just got this last week and started the build:
CFI G35-1050 TT kit
CFI Fuel system
Motec ECU
Dodson clutches, billet case, and billet second gear along with upgraded axle stubs
Should be good for 1400whp until I do the full billet gears in the trans and maybe a built motor.
Who wants to bet that this car will be ready before the Porsche?

well played. sorry to hear there are still so many issues with the Porsche, but best of luck
Thank you guys, it's been one hell of a ride with this car. Hopefully people can read my thread and stay away. I've got multiple PMs from people that are in the same scenario with the same vendor.

That's not a good sign.
Best of luck with the new path!

Yeah, first time it sold out way before the event, they said it will be their best Indiana event. Should be a packed house with lots of Porsche action. Sucks about the car but unfortunately expected. This forum is an echo chamber at most times, especially the build motor threads, lots of rah rah that end with nothing to show for it but thoughts and prayers, then the car gets sold. In reality the v10 platform is a better place to be especially when spending the money spent to not get what you paid for. Many available kits and many competent tuners.
Come to Indiana, should be a great event, Dave and Billy are bringing their killers, my other local buddy with an es1100 is coming to get his 200 club tshirt, and Mark, Todd and Dan will have the battle of the 997s.

It's a great event. Really well run and an awesome airstrip for racing. Lots of big guns coming out for this one. If you come, I'll buy you a beer and make you a killer margarita.
