My car is quicker low/mid range than his but up on the top end he definitely pulls; this is triple digit speeds though. No matter what you do bolt on wise, you just can't move as much air as a GTS because of the internal work and the valved/active plenum. That being said... you can get the X51 kit.

Caveat - I don't have experience with the dungeon intake runners but that could give an S the top end advantage if they do what is claimed.

Also, yeah... a 3.0tt car with a tune is faster - duh. And?

Just like they are faster on top end because of internal changes, you are gonna be faster than them because of the headers. There is no getting around that extra torque you get from the headers.

Would love to add bolt ons on my GTS when I can actually drive it more.

very informative thread

Interesting thread. Im coming from turbo cars and I recently bought a 991.1 S. I knew right away there wasnt much room for added power without breaking the bank. Then again once you add that power its not mind blowing. My plan is to keep it stock and if someone really wants to drag race ill just borrow the wifes tesla lol

Headers and tune is amazing on a .1 and adds a very noticeable gain.
totally agree, headers is where its at as step 1, at least IMO. Already have cobb stage 1 (but mostly so I could get PDK tune), but headers is on top of my list.

What kind of changes does PDK tune bring?

moves the shift points, adjusts the clutch pickup, in some maps it eliminates the annoying "kickdown", and for 991.1 cars it can reverse the sense of the shifter...

what Larry said...

higher RPM launch control, Eliminates kick down, car acts like manual at stops (no forward creep if you take foot off the brake, still retains hill-hold), Neutral or "drift kick" by pulling on both paddles, far less clutch slip on Full throttle upshifts, and like Larry said, biggest change for me reverse PDK shifting when using PDk Shifter.

Pretty much this as well, C4S w/ the power kit is staying 100% stock, that's why I specifically wanted a GTS spec car just to get all that OEM and not have to mess around with anything. I actually think my B8.5 S4 (ECU/TCU tunes & small pulley) is probably faster than my 911 through a 1/4 mile, or at least it feels that way with the massive amount of torque.
