Congrats. I'm sure it flies. I need a ride in one of these 850's. Wait...no...my wallet will hate me.
Thanks but remember, your car is really fast as it is and gets the job done.
There's probably be no need for you to go bigger unless you are seeking more mph.
You could probably get away with just headers and turbos, though....hint, hint...

Thanks.
Haven't seen your car, which wheels are you running?
vrybad -- with help from my technologically adept wife, Iv'e been able to post my first picture. Without her help, I wouldn't even be able to figure out a land line.... The P is a 991.2 with Fabspeed exhaust (the 2 fat tips look like homeless shelters, according to a friend) and a "mild" tune. I'm driving from my home in Tucson to CA for a Sam dyno tune in early June. And I still like your wheels better. Cheers -- Steve
By the way, I noticed that you participated in my OP on FWHP vs. WHP. This is not relevant to our current cars but, just from an historical perspective, I was a young kid Army officer in Germany in the mid 60's and visited Zuffenhausen a couple of times. This was during the transition from 356 B's (the last C's and SC's -- and the first with disc brakes; the 1963 S I was driving had drum brakes) to the new 911/912's. We were shown a room full of glass enclosed engine dyno cells. Porsche would run the engines at full power for 4 hours before putting them into new vehicles. Makes you wonder about factory "break-in" recommendations we find in our operators manuals.

I agree with 2fcknfst, make sure to thank her profusely for her assistance!
Car looks great!
Nice color!
Just a heads up but if you had ANY desire to swap those out, check this link: https://rennlist.com/forums/market/1239987
I bought one rear from him and it was in extremely nice condition.
The full set he is offering should also be just as clean and at a price that can't really be touched for the four wheels.
I'm sure you could find a buyer for your stock wheels, or keep them as a spare set.
Good luck on the tune, your car should be very fun when it is done.

Yea, kind of does lead to that question, doesn't it?
I'd bet their procedure weeded out any weaklings or those prone to fail.
That must have been some experience to be there in person.

Had the opportunity over the weekend to make one 60-130 run on the pump/meth tune, too much darn traffic even at 645am on a Sunday morning...car went 5.04.
I'm initially very pleased with that and I expect that the car will go high 4's as it sits.
This thing moves out....much stronger pull than any car I've ever driven or ridden in....a full 1.85 seconds quicker than my last TT C5 Z06, which I had very good results with against other solid cars during an impromptu roll race or two.
This power is very addicting...hopefully I can hold off on draining the bank account in search of even more but I don't know...
Did a ton of just cruising around with the car over the weekend...honestly could have spent days behind the wheel without getting fatigued.
Porsche certainly did a great job with these cars...it's amazing that I can pull this thing out of the garage and go for a ride.
Lucky bunch of sods we are to be able to participate in this hobby.
