My 1/4 Mile Time Slip & video Clip (996 Turbo S)
Subscribe
Thanks for all the great comments & the interesting info that it has lead to.
Sounds like i need to get plenty more practice in as even a 1.9 60ft would put a big smile on my face & just get me into the high 11's.
So whats the next best step to get a few more bhp out of her without swapping the turbos (for now).
From what I've read before Im guessing that I'm almost at my max bhp before the only option is to do something with the turbos so im thinking that my only options for now are the Gt2 Rs Intercoolers, (or any other brand) Dv's, FPR, Headers. Anything else to gain a few more hp?
Im trying to not slide any further down this slippery slope as i know that the next big slip would be the really expensive one.
Im still trying to convince myself on a PSS10 suspension overhaul which is coming in at £5000 as soon as i pluck up the courage to give the garage the go ahead.
My sensible side keeps telling me that i have more than enough power for the road & my wild side is probably on the fence, but as we all know speed & power are very addictive and it can only be downhill from here
Thanks again for the great advice & i look forward to tinkering with her this winter to help gain those few 10'ths on the strip

I think your next best power mod short of turbos is a good Hi-Flow intake plenum like our SpeedTech Plenum pictured below. This will let the turbos spool better/quicker and allow them to develop more power. Also, if you ever go to larger turbos, they will be well supported on the intake side...

1- Good tires, Drag tire, not road race- sidewall is key!
2- reve the car to 4000, back to 1500 back to 4000 back to 1500 so basically like a 2 step but its you controlling it.
3- dont worry about cutting the light if its just a time your looking for because you have to leave right when you go back up on the throttle to 4000 so it just coming up on rpm so you dont blaze the tires
keep me posted. Like to hear your results.
whats the point of varying the rpm?? with a 2 step an ignition cut is used to produce boost as the rpm bounces, doing it manually wont make any boost with out load.Originally Posted by PALETTE
its not the eaziest thing to explain. i tried that with Todd BHT and i hope he understood. I may just make a video of how i do it so its a quick step by step deal.1- Good tires, Drag tire, not road race- sidewall is key!

Yes, it is done all the time. The motor must be lowered a few inches...

The ones pictures flow better than the modified OEM style. If you are going to do this mod, IMO you should do it best/right the first time and maximize your cars potential.

Both do a very good job - go bigger if you are looking for every possible advantage or every fraction of a sec., otherwise the standard upgraded intake is fine and performs well.
