OK, so I have had the TT cab for a bit and driven it around and it is fast. But to compare it to my 67 427 435 Corvette or 70 Boss 429 or 70 Shelby GT500 or even my Ducati? Well, not fair from a kick in the pants push you back in the seat torque point of view.

So Todd from EVO hooks me up with the Stage 2 Chip with Hammer Upgrade (good for 30hp over the regular Stage 2 upgrade he says) and a Fabspeed Quiet.

Paul and the guys at Performance Outfitters do the install (as well as painting the front spoiler, rockers, rear valence, and bumperettes, ROW, an other stuff) and I take it out for its maiden voyage and ---- HOLY CRAP.

All you folks say it "awakens" the beast, but really -- HOLY CRAP. Thankfully I was holding onto the wheel and shifter or I would have been in the back seat.

THIS IS SICK -- I cannot tell you how friggin wild the ride is -- once above 4,000 rpm it feels like it has a second set of boosters --This baby just plastered a smile to my face a plastic surgeon couldn't remove.

Oh and this thing handles (thanks again to Paul at Performance Outfitter with the springs, and some tweaking of camber, toe in, etc.)

Pictures to follow.................

 

did you have the x50 package when you added the stage 2 upgrade?

 

No, just the standard TT - I have yet to dyno but EVO says I get 540-560 HP and 560-580 Torque -- I have no reason to think otherwise.

I did not order the X50 for precisely this reason -- for under $6,000 I got this performance -- quite a bargain.

 

very good to hear .. i also ordered my car without the x50

how long did you break in your car before you put the stage 2 on it

and if you dont mind me asking... can you pm me with how much you spent?

thank you

 

I'm loving my Stage 2 as well, and I also have the Hammer programming. However Todd told me that it was really about 15hp greater than the standard Stage 2; is there a 'new' Hammer file?

Sincerely,
Paul

 

Glad you joined the mod club...

I would like to see your dyno when you do it.. The stage 4 without headers is only about 580HP based on what is quoted.. That is with K24's also...

GIAC is fun....

I just sent you a PM

 

Proof is in the Dyno... keep us posted!

Based on Evo's numbers, on a Dynojet, your rwhp should be 460~475 and your rwtq should be 475~500.

Previously, an Evo Stage II that was dyno'd right before me (same day) put out ~434rwhp and 500rwtq.

455rwhp, 505rwtq - Dynojet

 

BTW, what is the Hammer Upgrade?

 

Hey OKHJOON190:

I just saw your sig for the first time. Great choice on a Cobalt Blue TT Cab. Cobalt Blue and Polar Silver are my all time favorites and you have a well-thought out options list. I'm looking forward to the 997TT for certain and am really excited to see how it turns out. I truly miss my Porsche though the SL55 is awesome as well though in a different way.

 

505 rwtq buddy. Get it right!! First run was 500 rwtq, second was 505 rwtq

 

Todd was telling me that after analysizing my dyno runs they realized that the programming was set up very conservatively. He said that Garret and he adjusted the programming based on my dyno runs and raised the a/f ratio slightly, more along the lines of the a/f ratio you were running

This thread stinks without pics!!!! Show me the TT cab !

 

Guys,

You may want to check out my post "Dynoed my car".

I dynoed my car Wednesday night:

It Dynoed at 476 rwhp.

Thats with the standard K24's and the basic GIAC stage 4. That why I am upgrading to the STAGE 4 GT with the Garrett Turbos.

Are you sure you are putting out that much power with Stage 2 and K16?

 

On my old car,(2003 Turbo) my car dynoed 434rwhp and 505rwtq with the "regular" stage 2 programming.
