Oh hell yes.. the goal is Group B rally style launches with 2.x's in the rain

It does look better in person than pix I swear but you have to get used to it that's for sure...

Thanks Graham and heh... I know some wheels are going on very shortly so it's not like those are staying. But they are better than the gen1 997TT mitsubishi eclipse style ones

THOSE wheels look great, IMHO.

A few more updates today.... as we're starting to look at the some of the maps:

Creating "real" a dual-chip solution. That means two independent, full and switchable maps. This isn't a single file with a unit that "forces" certain ignition map.

Also James and Todd testing the "real" dual-chip solution (for 91 octane vs higher):

Not sure what to drive home tonight

Nice to see you guys already digging into the new 997 Turbo Ecu.. Im not a fan of the new wheels at all. That painted / Machined look is going to take some getting used to maybe.. Good luck with it & keep us all informed!!!

hey skandalis... with it being a TT there's always some headroom. It'll depend on so many variables. It won't be as "easy" (if I can say that) as it was before to make power. Those days are over
