One thing is for sure: It cost the heck of a lot less than a 3.8L conversion and brings much, much more for my particular needs. (I would reckon subjectively at least 3 times more)

I feel a need from some fans to travel to Lugano to see the "beast"
Have fun Phil!

I bet its an amazing drive. What would you say is the "feel" difference between the g50/21 euro gearing and your custom Rennsport gearing? If I remember correctly you had kept 5th gear and moved it to 6th in your new setup?
When you write 50hp difference, in what part of the rpm range do you really feel that "50 hp" difference?
Thanks alot.

Awesome news! I just knew it would be a beast!
Here's more cartest 'in theory' info from another thread, compares VRAM, non VRAM, 993RS's setup, E46 M3 as a reference, etc etc. Interesting numbers. BTW 993RS if you'd like the dat file with the cars i worked up, just let me know and I'll email it to ya.

I really feel what seems like 50 hp more through the whole rev range. The car was a bit slow in 2nd gear in the lower rev range up to about 3500 revs. Now it starts pulling from the very start. Plenty of low end torque. Above 4000 revs though, it really kicks in...
I really don't recognize the car anymore. I find it just as responsive and fast as a 997 Carrera S...
