Regrettably, I did not do a before dyno pull. This build is about achieving (hopefully) incredible sound through the high performance parts from the high performance versions of the 911... but equally as important, its also about losing weight and improving the efficiency of the stock exhaust setup. I am fairly certain I will make power.
To quote Sharkwerks when they did a similar project but with a 996GT3 "The 30hp power increase from the 6GT3 to 7GT3 can be attributed to a few key areas - higher compression as well as some to the better exhaust/header flow/design and tuning"

Having a VW Bus in HS must have been so much fun! Mine looks worse in pictures than in person.

A lot of people have some great memories with that 61 I had back in the late 70's. Many stories!
