Hi James. I was fortunate enough to visit the shop last year and see the GT3R. What a beast!!

I've known Mike Welch since his first shop (I think 3 shops ago). Tell the guys Amar (Omar) from Palmdale and now living Australia/NZ says hello. I'm good friends with Honda Robert and the gang. I've also met you once or twice, but it was loong ago when I bought a GTR in 2010. I sold the GTR and and purchased 2011 997.2 RS, now with a nice RRE sticker on the rear window. Unfortunately it's sitting in storage until I can get it into New Zealand next year . Might be a good idea to get an E85 tune done at the shop before the car goes to the other side of the world... Hope to see you in the near future.

Also very excited to see the outcome of Ryan's E85 tune.

Fabspeed headers installed. I’m super impressed. It’s an animal in the mid-range now and rockets to redline. I honestly didn’t except them to make such an impact. Dyno results soon!

Hey Fellas.

Sorry this has taken a little longer than expected. I caught the flu for a week and then headed to Tokyo Auto Salon shortly after for a week. I'm back now and will get the second dyno session scheduled for early next week.

For what it's worth another member got about 25hp and 20tq through the entire band using a e85 tune via Sharkworks/Evoms https://rennlist.com/forums/997-gt2-gt3-forum/555562-sharkwerks-evoms-1st-e-85-powered-gt3.html

Do you remember what other mods he had? If it's just software and E85 that's impressive.

Per the first post of the thread I linked.... " I installed a set of E-85 Compatible Injectors earlier in the week and got it on the dyno today.. " and "Thanks to Alex @ Sharkwerks for the Hardware needed to tune the GT3 and the WICKED Track Exhaust system"

Im hopeful that there is more power to be found then 25whp as that was years ago! Im going to be e85 tuning mine as soon as i run out of gas on this tank, but Ive said that for the past month now....

I think a minimum of about 25whp across most of the power band is a decent "ROI". Remember, these are not forced induction engines so they are pretty much "tapped out" for squeezing more power. I have a 3.9 stroker gt3 and plan to dyno, add catless headers, dyno, add dundon intake, dyno, retune on e85, then dyno so results can be measured in steps.
