THK YOU STEVE were is this info coming from? is this from people racing there stock engines after they raised the RV and then throw a rod? there is a person saling performance chips on ebay and claim that the RV is raised by 400? rpms. seen some people that are happy and some that said the chip didnt work for them. but non the less i feel if your going to chip your car it needs to be dyno while it being chiped

My high horse is more like a pony, and I need a step stool, but I'm down now.

To answer that would require basic spelling skills.

That would be me!!! I am the Sgt. Schultz (Hogan's Heroes, remember?) of the 993 board: "I know NOTHING!!"

My car number is my IQ!!!! Sometimes it's 33!!! And then I get smarter!! Or dumber? Gaaaah, I'm confused! I think!!!!???

Bruce, I think you should be a little more sensitive. Seems to me the guy's just PMSing. He's got it so bad he can't even spell.

I'm not sure that insulting longtime forum members is a good strategy to get help here. Might wanna rethink that, champ.

p.s. the responses were no dumber than the question.

S4 I totally agree, and it's always the same dorks with more dollars than cents.

In all seriousness, I would suggest taking your car to a dyno, pay for an hour or a run or two and see where your peak HP is. If while your doing this you discover the HP pulling up to the factory redline...stop. If it falls off short of the factory redline, you've just discovered your new engine saving shift point, why waste your motor. I've done this for every street car I've built, then I put a shift light in at that peak rpm figure.

What you're looking for is a chassis dyno, one that you drive your car onto. It will also give you rear wheel HP, not flywheel HP like the factory specs...so don't be disapointed at the numbers. Also make sure you have a good tune and your engine is healthy so you get good numbers.

Let me ask you what your proposed budget is? Lets work backwards from there. You want to spin 8k?

Notice that this thread is very much like the one you started about rear suspension adjustments, with the same type of replies after many tried to explain many times sincerely? From your replies, its obvious that you keep asking until you get an answer you want to hear. Correct me if I am wrong.

I dont think many here take kindly to your tone but it quite possibly might be a language barrier. If we can establish that, then I know at least I could understand easier.

Actually you'll find plenty of DIY, reasoning and - even better than speculating, you'll find actual data and experience here. Some of that data and experience seems to rub you the wrong way, but you can't say that real info isn't being shared (or hasn't been shared, the archives are quite good).

Over the last 5+ years here people with actual experience have shown that the 993 rear alignment is tricky and sensitive, the engine doesn't leave a lot of easy hp on the table and the 3.6L is expensive when you break it.

No worries if you prefer to eyeball align and trust the butt-dyno, it's your car.

YZF R6 Blue, 993 is Blk on Blk. Good luck, I'd leave it alone, unless you can spring for a new motor at the drop of a hat....it would kill me.

chris the tone you are hearing is coming from the replyies. if you reread my last post youll see the same format, sarcastic responce with know usable how to info untill late in the post. if you go back to reply no. 11 on this post youll see my answer to your question about last post....(plse notice that the camber adjustment went ok). here it is...

YOU GUY ARE HILARIOUS, why is it so hard to get strait answers for some of you guy, or at lease some latitude and reasoning. Dont take it the wrong way, I like to joke too. but not when im seeking info. I notice one of the guys here is the same joker that said one should not or can not ( cant remember which he just likes to be sarcastic ) adjust one's rear camber and to spin the rear of your car (his) into a curve to make the adjustment. By the way I've made the adjustments and it worked out fine. It almost makes paying for membership a waist of my money. I received more help when i was just a user LOL. I guess im use to the 928 board where people work on thier own cars and like to share info and insight and dont mine speculating and reasoning on subjects. That must be why we have more forced induction kits out thier at resonable prices.
I guess being a 982er we tend to work on owner own cars because the stealer tends to charge way to much and we tend to pay them to learn on ower cars. coming from the 928 board everyone tries to answer the questions with helpful information to help you fix a problem design a prototype. it usauly doent take 30 replies before someone pulls a dyno sheet or photo from the workshop manual.
its not my intent to insult people but that does seem how some are coming across not all just some
