My First Porsche, My 997.1 VF Supercharged Carrera 4
Hi all,
I’m new to Rennlist and the Porsche family. I’ve dreamt of owning a 997 since I fell in love with them in high school when they came out.
I had a chance to pick up one locally. My criteria was it had to be a “4” and a “6 SPD”.
When I found this car it had some mods I didn’t care for. But I saw a lot of potential.
Here’s the details,
I’m hoping I can connect with the user “WaltB” as back in 09 I saw he had alot of experience with a supercharged 997.
my car is driving smooth. But it’s not making anywhere near the power it should. I do live in Colorado and I’ve had numerous people tell me I should run a smaller pulley. But I’m also curious what options I have for custom tuning since VF is tough to get help from and COBB doesn’t support this model year car.
here’s a photo of the day I picked her up.
And here’s a photo of after I cleaned her up to my liking.
things done,
Thanks in advance, and any help directing me to WaltB would be so appreciated. I couldn’t send him a DM. But I’m new and still figuring this out.
Cheers,
Chris
