It seems that most owners don’t share their dyno graphs. (F6I does not prevent you dynoing your car and sharing graphs)
But since F6I engines are custom built and tuned, there’s no “this is what all F6I builds produce” graphs.
Also since F6I engine are built for better torque over the entire range, and not focused on peak HP with a kill tune, graphs are not normally shared.
Every year F6I continually improves their engines, so an engine from 2017 is not equal to a 2022 engine.
Owners have told me the power gets better as the engine gets more miles on it even after break in.
Having the highest peak HP is great for bragging, but better torque over the entire range is better for driving.
This is similar to 0-60 times.
A modern automatic is faster for 0-60, but for me a quality manual is better for overall driving.
My car is for driving, not 0-60, not 1/4 mile drag, not dyno bragging.
I’d rather have a slower car with a manual transmission.
I’d rather have a better torque curve than a higher peak HP.
I hadn’t even thought about posting dyno graphs until now.
My posts will likely drop when I get my 996.2 back and the engine is broken in, I‘ll be too busy enjoying driving.
Back on topic:
Here’s my 996:
Apple Airtag is awesome for tracking your 996!
Here is my graph back in April/2016. The motor has held up well spending its' life on track. It is headed back to Jake relatively soon for a refresh..
I believe they’re made by the same Taiwan factory that makes 996 aftermarket LED tail lights Depo.
There are several threads here I purchased mine on eBay from a vendor called Fishcake321
there’s some good YouTube links as well, which show swapping the ballast over from your existing 996 lights… fairly straightforward. I’ve had Depo taillights on this C4S since they first came out and I found the quality to be excellent no issues at all.
a google search of below will give you good results and other pictures

That I've heard. But all the same, some numbers to at least give a gauge is nice.
