Jack, I got 5% off on a custom order for my 2014 C4S with X51 and a bunch of other stuff.

Might have been able to get more if I pressed...

The Torque on a 991S with X51 is essentially the same as normal S engine. HP is up but not torque. However, the torque curve is very much smoothed out above 6000 RPM though.

I wanted a "low key" appearance car without spoiler. The turbo is above $200K with couple of options, I saved +$50K.
Looking at Power/Torque curve compared to the GT3, the X51 is much better up to 6000RPM and holding very well up to 7600RPM. I also added the std 991s starting at 6500RPM. The X51 has also better low end torque up to 4000RPM and a smooth curve compare to the std 991s.
Where is the cut-off rpm rev limiter set on the X51 kit?

For the 991S, why not just install the Fabspeed X-pipe race exhaust (25 HP gain) for $2k, $8k on a set of Penske or Moton shocks, and $4k on a set of R6's on lightweight OZ wheels? This 991S would beat both the X51 car and GT3... Just saying!

Well, then you've spent $14k on parts not covered by warranty. And adding exhaust and light weight wheels wouldn't make the car faster than an X51 IMO. Aftermarket exhausts add HP (and I question the 25 in that case) but tend to kill low end torque, adding an exhaust isn't going to outperform better cylinder heads and intake.

When comparing torque you've got to factor in the gearbox ratios and final drive ratio. The GT3 gearing is quite a bit different than the 991S and the Turbo cars.

I appreciate the graph, good information. I looked hard at an Aqua C4S with X51, but for me the GT3 won me over. For me it was just the right package.

Yes and on the tracks that you shift into 7th at full throttle that will be really useful.....oh wait, yeah... Sorry.
