Congratulations Greg. Great car. You'll love the turbo when you get used to it. I'm looking about for a DD/DE ride too but haven't made my mind up on which model...........

996TT - daily driver summer/winter with track duty
996C4S 3.8 - garage queen?
Cayenne TT - grocery getter?

.7 bar pre-chip and linear acceleration, post chip .1 -.9 nothing in between
peak around 1.0-1.1 depending on conditions. Post plenum installation
sometimes 1.2 bar. Keep in mind in cold weather conditions, the car feels
way stronger, plus you are getting some wheel spin, which helps things along as well.
Keep in mind you now have over 500 hp but more important is the equivalent amount of Torque.

Full tank leaving home for Mosport, refill on a good day b/f lunch.

well it's cold and it does love it. yes wheel spin unless your trying to be smooth. I been in a gear higher just to prevent the wheel spin. 1st gear is basically useless much better to short shift to 2nd right away.

Well that is about what I'd get unless there was extensive track time during the day.

So whats turbo lag? the foot to floor it and the PSM intervening or is it the foot to floor it and the brain not processing how fast your going. This thing is trouble and then some. I can't drive it the same at all.

PSM will intervene in most vehicles depending on the parameters, moreso with the newer torque vectoring nannies.
"This thing is trouble and then some." I felt the same way post chip upgrade, the difference in power was that striking. For you even more dramatic, given the disparity to your C4S. According to the tech's at Pfaff my car pre chip upgrade felt like it was chipped. You can see it in the video when up against chipped 997's or Turbo S.
In time you will get used to the power. The Jumper will adapt.
ps do not install any aftermarket air filters no matter what the claims....
