Thought I would update . So I have 215 miles on the car with no issues . Front bumper is installed and she's running cool . Next Wednesday we will strap her to the chassis dyno and see what she can do . So far the only check engine light is for the SAI . I eliminated it and that will be turned off electronically next week . Looking forward to see what she can do .
Just did the first baseline dyno pulls, did two pulls and have 304.92 HP and 282.30 tq at the wheels . Running rich up top so there is more in her . Will start tuning tomorrow morning when air is cooler . Will finish her up tomorrow and report final results .
Final numbers are in , made 318 HP and 290 lb ft of torque at the wheels . Pulls very strong and sounds good . Sprung a leak on a brake hardline ☹️ so repairing that at the moment . Overall I am very happy , Jake says 388 HP at the crank which is very respectable . Hope my small journey has been helpful . Probably going to be away from the forum for a while , going to go enjoy this bad boy 😋

Impressive numbers. Can you post the curves? I am curious on what the graphs look like.
With 14% improvement in flow at the heads you must have gone with Lens stage 2 package?
This morning did one final tweek to get rid of a bobble from 2000-2200 rpm . Now she's smooth as silk from idle to 7300 . You can feel the Vario Cam kick in and she presses you back into the seat . She is a blast to drive . Now I will start the visual restoration she needs a good clay bar session along with some minor paint touch up . A Singer style mini ducktail is coming tomorrow via the brown truck . Next will be some sort of front spoiler lip . Fun times . Here are some pics of the " black beotch " .
Looks good! Polish the headlights and it will look 100% better!
Polishing the headlights is on the to do list. The pics make them look better than they really are . They are quite faded . But Porsche used very high quality lexan and they will look like new when done . But the interior lenses are burned on both so will probably convert to bi-xenon. Thanks for the feedback .
Update: car has been running great with no issues . On Thursday I met Jake at the shop he sold me a used LN 2 quart extended sump with X51 baffles . I am cleaning it up then will drill and tap for an oil temp sensor . I am getting close to the next oil change so will do it all together . Happy 4th of July
