Amazing Amazing acomplishment Joe and evoms. You guys raised the bar for Porsche tuning once again. You guys laid it down and then some. That is one hell of a street car. Imagine that car with 600 pounds less weight. That car should go 240+ Enjoy it!

sounds to me that taking your power into account you are putting down some phenomenal numbers....Not sure that a GTR at your level could have done that or anywhere near that

A few observations:
1. Joe did not come online touting his impressive dyno pulls. To the contrary, he elected to remain relatively quiet about, and downplay, his incredible dyno numbers. Instead, he put his car to an objective test, in a public setting, and risked failure. He let his objective performance numbers speak for themself.
2. Joe ran his car at full weight -- 3,300 pounds. He didn't yank out seats, panels, or other extraneous parts. He did not lighten the car at all. VRAlex ran 212 in a super-light 996TT (I'm guessing that it was around 2,600 lbs). Eddie Bello previously ran 228 in an even lighter air cooled Porsche. If Joe stripped his car, he could have run MUCH faster. At 2600 lbs, I suspect Joe would be at least 10 mph faster. Thats a scary thought.
3. Joe never ran his car at full boost. The 231 run was still 3 lbs less than his full boost tune. He likely has a few mph more at full boost.
4. Joe's current set-up is limited by a particular part that is not commensurate with the rest of the set-up. The car is now going back to EVOMS to resolve the limiting issue. Thus, Joe's car should be even more powerful, and even faster, next month.
5. Joe faces a major problem on the street -- he will not have a long runway to slow down after a burst of speed. Be careful Joe!
6. I think its time to add a Mile MPH list to the 1/4 mile and 60-130 thread at the top of the forum.
7. This is surely the fastest 996TT on the face of the Earth!!!
8. Congratulations to Joe and EVOMS for a tremendous accomplishment. Bravo!!!

Craig, You took this thought right from my brain man...
Joe deserves ALL of the attention he'll surely get for some time... Well done man, well done!

On a technical point, the primary advance that Joe has over the other very high hp 996TT's (3.8's running GT 35 turbos and higher revving GT 3 cams) is that his head studs allow for more boost (30 lbs verses 25 for Robs car).
Is that summary correct, Joe?

That's one of the MANY reasons why this car is faster. Remember, they never ran more than 28lbs this weekend. The car has more in it, but is far from maxed out. They also did that 231 pass, white knucke driving, floating around the track, with no belly pans in the bottom of the car because they lost them on Friday's first run. Rob's car was at 30lbs when they did his 1000whp dyno. Trust me, it's a lot more than the studs.

I was perusing Joes build...would he (or anyone else) be kind enough to break down the differences betwen his car and Robs?

"World's Fastest Porsche"
The run and achievement are beyond phenominal !!!
I, don't believe the weight of a car is a big factor in your top speed at the mile,
however, if it was a competition to see how quick (number of seconds) it takes
to get down the airstrip, then weight reduction would be more of a key factor.
The wind is your biggest enemy and as Markski says "you have no friends at 200 mph"
I do believe this all but closes the chapter about who is in possession of the "Most
Powerful Porsche Turbo", certainly in North America (9FF may have a car or two with
similar power levels).
Go JOE, Go!!

A CDR is a contract between two parties. Its betting for bad things to happen and is in part why our economy is in its current state. The buyer makes periodic payments to the seller and in return receives a payoff if an underlying financial instrument defaults/fails.
Sort of what is quaranteed to happen when you start trading, Walnut. Stick to things you are good at, like exploiting illegal labor.
