Default 987.1 Dyno w/ mods

I had the chance yesterday to dyno the car with a few mods. First I did somewhat of a baseline run with just the EVOM Vflow intake (269whp). I wasn't able to get the tach signal sorted out so no torque figures. I then swapped out the OEM exhaust for my LHT Performance custom piece. After another three runs I ended up with 277whp. Pretty happy overall...Seems as though headers, plenum, and a tune may net me closer to 290-295 but I don't know that I want so spend that kind of money for ~15 hp.

Thanks. 19inch OZ Ultraleggera's with Michelin PS2's. I've been debating on switching them up but I can't decide!

Headers and tuning is definitely worth more than 15hp. I went with our Race Headers/Tune on my CR and net 27hp, and although it was a 987.2 I guarantee you that doesn't make up for 12hp haha. The factory headers and software on our cars are the biggest restriction points, freeing them up will completely transform your car.

If you guys are looking for wheels, Signature has got some pretty nice fully forged wheels at a great price. Couple of my clients are running them and love them. Their SV104 below is pretty slick, probably getting a set of those myself for this season.
