Both setups were a product of 911 Tuning, aka Markski. The 2001 996TT

was put on a strict diet and was 340 lbs off stock, but still retains a

full interior with a/c, carpet and kick *** stereo with bluetooth etc...

The smaller turbo setup doesn't relegate your car to a straight line

drag strip bruiser. Mine is a daily driver and it'll eat 99.999% of all

cars on the planet including most 3076 setups. I know that statement

will ruffle some feathers, but it's true.

I'm posting this thread to show Markski my appreciation and to show

folks in general, bigger is not always better. The real irony is that Porsche

was known as the giant killer in racing lore! Porsche racked up more Lemans

victories then Ford and Ferrari combined and they did it with half the

displacement of their competitors.

I must use full disclosure in that my 16g and alpha 28 setup are not

standard "packaged" product. I spent a LOT of money to get this

performance. Peeling off a couple hundred pounds is not very hard

and knowing which mods really work and offer the best bang for the buck

is a matter of doing some research and asking a few of the guys who

really know. I'm down 340 lbs and don't have a "stripped" car and that

is expensive! I also have several exterior components and suspension

parts that aren't necessarily mandatory. These cars have no trouble going

fast without them lol.

I wanna thank IPD for the 74mm plenum/throttle body. My absolute

best time before the IPD units was 5.46 seconds 60-130. I did 3 runs

after the plenum / throttle body and they were 5.52,5.7 and the record

5.35. The IPD plenum / tb works period the end.

Thank you Markski and Marcin. You guys are the best and I'll never

tell another Pollack joke again. ( not publicly anyways)

The 996 description does not. Do you know if the 996 requires a roll cage if you go to a carbon roof?

I think with the additional mods and wastegates, I would have gotten 5.5 or so...I know Chris ran 5.1 or 5.2 with 18g's, but that was on E85...I wasn't getting within a country mile of that...
Have you checked you 1/4 and ET with the Pbox to get an idea?
Am I close?

at 2:00 AM and dropping the clutch at 5000. I did 3 of those and that was
my best. That setup would've netted 10.4s at the strip with a better 1/4
mile driver

I'm hesitant to try that nonsense with this setup! It's waaay more powerful.

I don't have a spare axle

thats how its done! randy you better start thinking halon system, rollbar and harnesses for the more serious runs. its safety time with the power your running

I couldn't agree with you more on your review.

Enjoy that beast!
