They run about 225 or so with shipping. Installed mine today. If you plan to get one just email me and ill give u advice on installing it. The unit did come with instructions but not very detailed but if u take your time its pretty simple. Take care. Way easier then the b&m short shifter-i had that professionaly installed. take care

I own a '01 996 C2 coupe - I just installed mine today AND I ran with the G-Tech before and after. I entered 3150lbs as my car's weight and made all runs in 2nd gear from 2000rpm to redline. On the same (relatively) flat road. Note that I did NOT reset the ECU. I was also periodically getting wheel spin even in 2nd (I have winter tires on).

Date time: 01-12-15 14:22
Engine temp: 92
Fuel load 70%
Temp: -2c
HP results: 255, 256, 275, 256, 262, 270
Average HP, (less 2 lowest): 266

Date time: 01-12-15 16:12
Engine temp: 92
Fuel load 65%
Temp: -5c
HP results: 256, 268, 272, 270, 267, 253, 275
Average HP, (less 2 lowest): 270

So, what does the above tell us? Well first off it shows that a G-Tech is a piece of crap. We can't really conclude wether the kit helps, it doesn't seem to hurt. Of course results may be more decisive when the ECU gets a chance to learn the kit.
