BTW, it is a nice size jump going from 325 (base 997) to 450hp and with loads of torque.
I would rec holding off for a little time on the higher hp mods to enjoy it stock and get a good handle on the car. Most certainly replace the diverter valves as preventive maintenance. Take some DE courses, etc.
When you get bored of the 450, go for the above stated mods to bring some more zest in your life.
just my $0.02

it's ridiculous. there really is no comparison, as I'm all sure you all know. The most amazing thing was the interior. Alot of people were saying that the 997 interior was much better. I like the 996 interior better ergonomically the seats are more comfortable also. I love the car it's exceeded my expectations in every way.

By the way guys thanks for the warm welcome to the board, I look forward to learning from you guys. I'm sure it will be nice to get to know some of you I was pretty involved in the 997 board when I had that. And I hope to be active on this board as well.

Congrats. Beautiful car! Love the painted vents.
Given that you have K24s (basically the same as a GT2 or X50 car), you're good for an honest 600 hp with basic mods. Flash, Exhaust, Diverter valves and Upgraded wastegates or wastegate springs and maybe an intake.
The wastegates are the most overlooked and make a serious difference. just ask anyone who has them.
Consider getting coilovers and not just springs. Given teh labor cost, it's a nice upgrade. Do your research on wghat brand as PSS9s are known to bottom out if you lower than 1-1.5".

395hp awd. 455 HP crank. I run the race flash flie and VP MS 109 Octane gas. It should be good for 70+ more HP. Best $2500 spent. I have some of videos posted on the PCA Turbo Registry web site. www.911turboregistry.com
