I have to confess that the last post I even vaguely began to understand was 1999Porsche911's first post (for which, many thanks - great info & really useful)!

Here's a pair of chassis dynos taken from Evo's website that show a 3.4 and 3.6 996 before and after installing the Evo SC. Check out their webite at http://evoms.com/porsche%20ec%20art%20test.htm

Thanks Fishman, but I had already seen those on Evo's website (which they seem to update quite regularly). Nobody seems to have done the elusive SC/TT dyno comparison.

I'm not quite brave enough yet to take the leap and SC my C4S, although I'm very grateful that other Porsche owners out there are braver than I am when it comes to their (very expensive) cars. I really hope that there are no problems mid to long term. It's certainly very cool that this seems to be the case so far - long may that state of affairs continue.

I saw the ad and the ad was for the entire line of performance parts. It may very well be that Danbury and Brandywine stock some of this go fast gear, but don't go near the superchargers, much less install them.
Neither dealer is listed on the EVOMS site as an installer for the SC.
