Champion is temporarily selling my car and who knows I might get old fast and need PDK. 991RS + cash to trade in the 4.0 LOL
Shoot outs are gonna get done at Sebring. West coast has no real tracks.
We'll have you, me and another one one, maybe even a few more like Sharky 3.9 and who knows a Ruf?
. I'll volunteer to be the gentle consistent benchmark driver :-)
It would be awesome to do a real test. Not a 5 lap ***** GTR car mag test but a real long 500 mile track test.
I have good hoped for the "other" one.

thanks guys, really appreciate the responses.
i should have mentioned, i would send the engine to germany to get done, FVD have done the conversion a number of times and i feel comfortable them doing it for me.
im just waiting for clarification of my warranty, my local Porsche independent here in Dubai will allow you to use any FVD upgrade as long as they fit it without voiding warranty, but still need them to confirm they will remove engine, send to germany and replace engine when complete.
i thought about a track 4.0 but they are rare, and WAAAAy pricey! i nearly deposited a new 991 GT3 this week, but love my 997.1 so much i didnt want to form out for a new car.

Manthey Racing and RS Tuning do a 4.3 litre, both these companies build race engines and have a LOT of experience compared to FVD (especially with the 997GT3) who is primarily street "tuner".
Anecdotally I hear that the RS Tuning 4.3 keeps up with GT2RS at the track !!

If you are seriously considering shipping the motor to Germany then you should consider another two engine builders.

Serge engine building has a one out of one 100% success ratio - must be the best of them all.

I know RS do different versions for street cars and for race cars, outputs below.
There is always at least one race 4.3 engine in the shop which presumably will be in for houred maintenance..... They've done a lot of endurance racing with these as have Manthey, compared to an FVD "kit" these are the gold standard for GT3 IMHO
