Putting up data and comparing your car against big turbo setups which had nothing to do with the thread?
Just sticking to the facts.
Guys, this competitiveness happens on most cars forums.
It shouldn't but it does.
It's just a part of the forum world.

I know… looks fairly straightforward to install as well besides the new clutch. If the car wasn’t already so scary fast on the street at stage 3 levels and 100 octane tune, I would have to consider it.

Nice!
I agree with the impressive results on the street with Stage 3, and I only run 93 octane. I can't speak from experience, but I think the step up to Stage 4 with Meth is a huge jump in the scary factor. I can only guess that eventually one would become accustomed to it, but the Meth is such a game changer for everyone from OEM turbo setups to XR kit owners alike. Also, I like the format of your signature!

Yup, I had promised to pay it forward for a few holidays myself, but I am picking up my finished XR car this weekend and I just can't wait. This whole process with Sam has been flawless. I look forward to posting first impressions once he's got things dialed in.

@8SecDD Glad to hear she is up and running. That is an amazingly quick tranny change!
@scorch Also been following your build brother. Love the color combo on the engine !
@onfireTTS I concur!
@Ttz06vette @Pb Pedis After a time we may grow accustomed to the power level and desire more. Stage 4 with methanol was a blast. It was fast but manageable at least in a straight line. When I went to the Porsche experience in Carson, CA, I was able to drive a 991.2 turbo and a GT3 on the track with ideal road conditions and fewer variables. Even in stock form, I was the limiting factor in the driving equation. I believe the true potential of these cars can be exploited on a race track whether is it in a straight line or in the twisties.
@geekcarguy Thanks!
@42THFLR Congrats! Another upcoming XR ByDesign car!
@Drv Saif Appreciate it, brother!
@SamboTT@ByDesign Keep them babies coming Sam !

@Drv Saif Exciting times brother! Yesterday I ordered some factory aero parts (e.g., front aero lip and GT3RS side skirts) and some Toyo R888rs. Probably also order some carbon fiber side vents. Still deciding on the brand and design of the second set of wheels for street use (the HRE P101s will be a dedicated track set) and a wrap design. The IPD plenum and HRE wheels will be sent off to a local shop for Cerakote. I have a set of H&R springs that will be installed and I will pick up a DSC controller from Sam. The last part of the puzzle will be to order a couple of 55-gallon drums of race fuel.

Have you considered the GT3RS side scoops? I have those with the skirts also. The GT3rs side skirts are a great upgrade and surprisingly not much conaidering how much Porsche tax is on any other parts for our cars. What color for the IPD stuff? Running bumperless!!??

Your car looks great on the stock 5 spoke wheels. Also is your car stock ride height?
