991.2 Which one for mods? T or 4S widebody

Before I bought the C4, I had my build planned out. I browsed these forums and researched a ton. After seeing many complaining about traction issues with over 500+ HP when tuned, I knew the best solution was AWD.
I came from a tuned C63S Coupe and was tired of spinning the tires at 90 MPH. I’ve gotten all the power slides and drifts out of my system with that AMG - I can’t help but say I absolutely love my built C4.

Thanks, I have a base C4 btw. Not having the fancy rear diff doesn’t really matter with AWD - just my personal opinion. I’d be saying otherwise if I was RWD though.

Spare engines go for 9-12k depending on mileage. These 9A2 3.0L’s can be built with higher strength rods and can be bored out to as high as 3.8L with larger pistons.
Once you start pushing 800 crank HP and above, then you’re asking to bend a rod. But the PDK clutches will begin to fail before the engine lets go. I wouldn’t go more than 750 torque without setting aside cash for Dodson clutches.
I’m still on a completely stock engine and trans and no problems - knock on wood. At the end of the day, I built a C4 that’s as quick as a 992 Turbo S and I’m still under 6 digits all in. 991:2’s are one of the best bang for your buck cars out there with the ability to literally bolt on turbos, tune it; and double your power.

I’m only pushing 650 crank HP at 22-23 psi on ethanol so the engine is on the safer side.

0-60: 2.45 seconds (1’ rollout)
60-130: 6.52 seconds
1/4 mile: 10.21 @ 137 mph
These were my stock times for reference:
0-60: 3.5 seconds (1’ rollout)
60-130: 11.66 seconds
1/4 mile: 11.95 @ 115 mph
I have videos of runs on my IG account (they’re in my story highlights). These were done on an unprepped surface on the street.

FWIW my car and basically everyone's car in my area put down tremendously slower times at the track vs street. Track preps are usually crap or non-existent.
