Also, is it the full RS Cage or just the back half roll bar?

Thanks for the welcome. Didn't read the "Waitlist" section when I filled out my new membership. Sorry.
Question: I was unaware that you had to specify black wheels instead of silver as an option on the Orange/Black combo....my salesman never asked me the question when I placed my order.....where was that indicated on the option guide?

silver is a no cost option that you would have had to spec!
i guess that means you aren't giving up your allocation? lucky!!!

Never said anything about your origins, those who you choose to associate with, or the quality of your local pavement.
So, you are serious about putting a blower on this motor? Have you formulated any sort of plan of attack to make this happen. I'm interested in how you go about such a project. You may have one of the first 997 RSs running FI. That would be mighty impressive.
And about your wheel selection. 19" Hoosiers. . . .since you are going with 13" rear wheels are you going with the 325/30 rubber out back? If so, what are you running up front on those big 9.5" wheels? Again, I'm curious as to how you will take advantage of all the wheel.
I'm just here to learn from others, and make friends who share in interest in these wonderful porsche motorcars!

Now we MODIFY the intake and machine all hardware to bolt up the blower. I do not know now what blower I will use however i feel that a roots style in this case. Learn? do you know how much money and time I have spent in the learning curve. I always make mistakes that is grind stone way I live. Concept back on black RS for street battle. Answer a custom blown German car with other ideas out of the circle of rules and bolt on kits. I do run LPG on my CUMMINS DODGE as a fog at pulls. Please let me know about the F1 thing I do not understand.

FI. . .forced induction.
Sounds like you'll do the FI kit from the ground up with a positive displacement blower. Eaton/Lysholm makes a great twin screw blower that has greater adiabatic effeciency than the Roots type blowers. You may want to look into those units. Positive displacment units have been done on the on modern 911s, so packaging shouldn't be terribly difficult. I'm not sure why you wouldn't just buy a GT2 though? Sounds like a helluva undertaking. It'll be great to see your results nevertheless.
Keep us all in the loop on tire/wheel/fender fitment. Should be fun as well.
