Thanks for following us on this turbo-real-time-sorta-update journey of another 3.9. Yep she was born a couple of days ago and broken in and ready for pick up tomorrow.
A few of the last steps...

For 500hp we outfit the transmission with our upgraded clutch kit assembly including the RS single mass flywheel. The 997 GT3RS lightweight flywheel is in itself a great upgrade to help bring the car to life... easier revs, better 0-60 and a lot more fun to drive:

Before the transmission and engine are installed back into the car we install a revamped/strengthened limited slip differential unit from our friends at Guard Transmission:
