Around the bay area we have like 5 tracks that people are addicted to and couple that with some serious abuse (the odd mis-shift and other mishap) and you see where I'm going... The GT3 motor of all the 996s is likely the one to last the longest. We abuse the TT's way more but those aren't far behind![Wink](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)

Just out of curiosity what are the HP and torque improvements(for the 3.8 upgrade)? I might have missed that if its been posted already.

OG from the research of other kits I was able to determin anywhere from 40-50hp and 35TQ. It depends on a lot of variables like the compression ratio used and whether or not head work, boat-tailing, knife-edging etc... are done in the build. The car we're going to do we're shooting for 40hp at least

Thanks Sharkey sounds like your kit will be a more economical than the Manthey 410 kit which is close to 10000 Euros- what ever that is in dollars
