Damn, what is up with people today. That 993 v 996 debate has really put everybody in an odd mood today.

uhmmm... I'm sorry.... what was the question again??

Dell, I knew EXACTLY what you were referencing! When I opened the thread, the first thing that came out of my mouth was... WOW!!!! Then I found myself ducking down a little to see if I could see up a little higher. Just so you know, it didn't work!

I really like his, but experience tells me that in the end mine is more reliable and much less costly

Ok seriously, I talked to FVD a while back about the throttle body exchange and they talked me out of it, saying needed cams and wouldn't benefit me. Now the new plenum, I'm nost sure what my thoughts are on that one. CAM's why must they cost soooo much. This is what I really want.

Though the plennum is a decent mod, the bigger TB is VERY minimal gains for the money spent. This was discussed breifly at 6speed.
