The sad thing here really is that you probably actually believe you know what you're talking about when you don't even have the slightest clue at all. That is sad indeed. And embarrassing too. Do you actually believe anybody here at all thinks you could possibly be right?
All I have to say to you is hear me now and believe me later, the way to knowledge is to first acknowledge your ignorant ways.

I'm the guy mentioned in post #2....Had a TPC supercharger installed on my 2006 997 c4s over the past summer. The initial install was a story by itself....the results though are still being realized...one smile at a time....Although my ride has been confined to its spot in the garage due to historic winter here in Boulder Co. I look forward to really seeing what this beauty will do later this month..Up to this point, the general response of passengers has been the same "Holy S...!!!!!!!

Some people on this forum are hilarious. Any mod to the stock car is trounced upon. Just a little while ago it was lowering kits killing shocks. Today it's stock brakes not being up to a SC. Get real, the brakes on these cars are great are some of the best on the market for their intended purpose. Am I mistaken that they are very similar to the ones that come standard on the 996TT? If true, how does one even debate this?

me-"So how did he/she like it?"
dad-"Well, they suddenly became very religious!"
I'm trying to convince him for the SC kit
