What a package! How much of the gain you loose by going with just sports header + plenum TB + tune?

Haha why thank you! This GT4/Spyder platform is the new hotness

We agree with you completey, this car was definitely held back severely. As for the dyno runs, I leave it up to the experience of the tuners that have been working on our development cars at Fabspeed for over 20 years at this point. We always operate the development vehicles in as safe a manner as possible as if they were our own vehicles. The engines are broken in a sufficient amount before you ever receive the car, and are quite over-engineered. It's a very subjective topic, along with the many others in that come with the territory or aftermarket performance.

What I can tell you is the day I'm in the position to pick up my brand new Porsche, I am taking the backroads home and tuning the snot out of it as soon as possible lol.

Yessir, 93 octane from the local station.

Additionally it begs the question what the GT450 + X51 + 4.0L + tune will put down
You're making my hair stand on end, don't tease me haha

I prefer to look at it as how much you'll gain with those modifications, rather than what you'd leave on the table not doing everything haha. Even so, it is tough to say as we have never had the pleasure of dynoing that particular combination.

What I can provide you is a dynograph of what we saw with our Sport Headers only. This should give you a good idea of what you'd see from the Sport Header upgrade alone. I also included a dynograph of what we saw with our custom Fabspeed protune on top of our Race Headers and Valvetronic Exhaust System. This should give you a good idea of the potential of upgrading the factory software.





If you would be interested in further details or moving forward with any of these components, just give me a ring so we can chat and get to know each other a bit and go over your goals. We will move forward at your leisure with the best combination for you

Do an internet search, spend about 30 minutes reading the results, and you will find your answer(s).

Yeah and the internet is always right.... not.

If you have a beef then state it now.

If you ain't got sh*t (or you're a timid bullsh*ter) then GTFO.

Sooo, just wasted the last 30 mins of my life doing "an internet search" as recommended and what did I find. I entered "Fabspeed problems" into Google, and the search facilities for Rennlist, 6Speedonline, and Planet-9, and came up with very little apart from a few purchasers of Fabspeed products complain about issues when they have fitted their products themselves, with some very helpful Fabspeed employees posting requests for the people to contact them for help.

Obviously I'm too stupid to find the answer. I'm not sure what your issue is BRNGT4 and MM3.9GT3, please enlighten us...
