No details are on my site, I can't post anything with details, else it gets stolen by copy cats.
So how is anyone suppose to buy this thing potentially if we have no details on it?

Is the webinar free?

This reminds me of Ferrari inviting members and picking them to be able to buy one of their cars.

Yes, its free. I started doing this a few months ago, and it works very well. In this format we can use the same style of information delivery that I do in my classes, and simply educate a group of potential buyers all at once. Otherwise I end up spending day after day sharing the same info with different people. This makes me spend un- necessary time in the office, and I hate that.

I have things to build. Like this 4.1L 964 based, beast that I just finished last week. I've been doing my best to spend my time in the shop, and let the dust settle in my office. I hate that place.

With the 9a2 engines and cars being delivered, I am about to have zero time as we rip apart brand new engines, and look for problems, and products to be manufactured.

With your car being a 2000 with a 3.4 based engine, you lack the proper core engine, and DME to connect the dots for an engine like this. It can be done, but you'll be down 15-20HP over these figures due to the compromises stemming from the mk1 engine.

Interesting. Why's that? Do you prefer it over the 4.0 in an mk2?

Dr. Raby is slowly but steadily creeping his way up to my preferred engine replacement options once my current one gives up. #1 choice is still the GM LS376/480... but if I'm feeling Porsche-y when the time comes...

Many reasons, especially since the mk1 lack vario- cam plus with added valve lift. It also lacks large enough bowl areas for my performance valves to allow for more port volume without a loss of velocity, and mixture motion.

Bigger is seldom better, and larger engines are more difficult when it comes to efficiency.

I would rather have a well built, efficient medium displacement engine, as a huge mis configured beast.

It has taken us over 10 years to get the 4.0 to this point.

People want big, but few of them understand why. That's where I come in, and won't allow a buyer to make a poor decision.

The tests are also performed on 93 octane pump gas.

And the best part, we didn't even need to raise the rev limiter....
Amazing stuff!

Would this webinar cover questions I would have about the necessary head work I would need to do to get the most out my DIY 4.0 build?

No, the Webinar iOS only for those interested in buying Track Performer turn key engines.

What you need is part of our M96 High Performance online class, which has slots remaining. We had to reschedule this since my co- instructor was hospitalized with Pneumonia on the original date.

You are a wise man. As a recovering HP addict, I just needed to be reminded why I went for balance over power this time around. My C2 is the 6th quickest car I've owned but by far my favorite. Thanks Jake.
