Allegreto how did you get so smart with a total lack of reading comprehension? No where in my post did I feel it was worth 25hp, if you read my post without your holier than thou asperations you would see I was questioning wether or not you can feel 25hp, I feel you can...you may feel different. I know what I felt (how much hp I don't know) and somehow if you feel you can teletransport yourself into my being and distinguish what I feel and don't feel then man you should be in some freak show.
So I guess in your eyes me and Ron are just full of **** and we don't know what we are talking about......do I got it right?
I'm done with this thread...you can lead a horse to water, but you will never make him drink.

+1. It has to do with percent HP increase, rather then absolute number of HP increase. That said, I doubt I could personally tell the difference between various cambers and compounds of tires, etc, let alone a few extra horses. Be that as it may tho, 25 extra horses, whether constituting a 0.1% or 50% increase, does have some kind of effect.

transport myself into your being? good Lord, would i have to stay? the horror..the hor-ror
won't address your assessment too much, you have no idea to whom you are speaking. i will indulge to say that my reading comprehension is far better than your mastery of the written word.
Ron and yourself? my guess is Hyperion to a satyr. but...

Allegretto, no offense taken whatsoever. I replied the way I did for the community's sake - to hear the "how and why" from my perspective. It may be that 99% of the 997 owners out there would not even perceive a change in performance given the types of things I've done. But those of us driving on the track at a certain level can and will "feel" a difference even if it's minor and something that sensitive instruments, like a dyno, might indicate as being somewhat insignificant. 0-60 means nothing to me, but a few MPH of entry speed increase, the result of some added performance through modification, is a beautiful thing on the track.

we both know what 25 HP, with equal drivers (almost never, but for the sake of discussion), in a 997 means at the track. be bye bye time...
downright discouraging for the tail to watch them just keep pulling and pulling and pulling a w a y
