First true standalone for 996/997 completed by Switzer Performance Innovation!!!

So check out this video that Tym recently made on a customer car...the weather finally broke for a day in lovely Cleveland and SPI was able to put about 100 miles on a brand new 997 with the first working (and affordable) standalone option to hit the Porsche market!!!

All of the complex factory systems are functioning....ABS, PSM, PASM...etc. Everything works. Too bad he didn't include the video of the PSM flashing everytime he went WOT in 1st gear

Listen to the throttle response and boost recovery on the 3076's too! Amazing. His custom lightweight flywheel and clutch package is also showing perfect daily drivability along with motorcycle like revving.

Tym and crew have just cracked the surface as to what will be possible this year now that we finally have a standalone option....great job guys!

Sounds sick!!!

Very cool innovative thinking, I will be curious as to how it is done and
what "standalone" means on our cars with all the PSM, and electronics.

I will say one thing, I dont care what he did to the car, It sounds magnificent!!

JUNBL and SPI have always been under essentially the same ownership.
