This car seems to get faster every time I go out with him.
With the right weather and low humidity I pretty sure there is
another 3 to 5 tenths to take off of it.
Now if I can talk Randy into putting gt3 heads and cam carriers (or building the heads on it to those or better specs) and gt3 cams, GT2 intake
I'd like it to make those numbers at a much lower boost setting.
Now onto the hard part of the build tuning the part throttle drivabilty.

Randy if you make it down to Houston give me a shout can get some of the Houston guys together to meet. I'm out SE in the 'burbs about 5-10min from our shop, but office is out here closer to I10 / Beltway area. So I move a ton during the day.
And new number! Sweet!!!!!
And I agree esp on the GTR we all will end up TKO'ing our rearends/half-shafts trying to leave like that on the street

Heck, I could go 15 mph faster in the Mile with a taller 6th gear. My focus is only from 70-180 now for TI and other roll race events. We are doing some things to improve that range like weight reduction and quicker spool. I've contemplated the E85 thing and others like you are having good luck with PRoEFI. These turbos simply don't spool before 60mph so my 60-130's were better with small turbos.
The ems and e85 are the logical progression for your car Todd
It sure is easy to spend other peoples money lol.

breathing cars! You fellows in Houston rule the high hp world for sure!
We have a friend up north who just bought a new fancy cnc machine and
he's working on the crazy idea of a lightweight diff that'll handle a
1000+ whp. Imagine an effective awd 996TT!
I was reading that Ruf uses the 996 awd system on their 997 turbos. Alois
says that the mechanical awd system is superior to the new awd so he
retrofits with the 996 version! Albeit, his most powerful car is 750 crank.
I don't think bigger horsepower is gonna beat the gtr's and gallardterds.
As with my builds, bigger is not better, better is better. We need super
lightweight, engine management to control wheel spin and some way to
launch HARD. If we could wave a magic wand, we need effective awd.
That's how they're beating us. Fire with fire.

Rep Power: 116 Come to think of it, her wardrobe was in the range of a GT2 rs. No kidding.
And then they have the nerve to complain about how much you spend on cars.
And the complaining is done from the seat of a their new Mercedes sl550.....
that you bought. Don't get me started

Todd Knighton is using the GT3 intake! Personally I like Chris Greens setup
on the GT2. The GT3 cam / heads is a little scary. There's not a lot of builds
with those particular mods but the ProEfi would make it easier than the
stock ecu to work with for sure.
I'm anxiously anticipating Topguns ProEfi setup and the update on Chris and
Corey's Syvecs build. My feeling is the Syvecs will produce identical results
but is much easier to tune and way more intuitive relative to the 996TT.
If the Syvecs exceeds the ProEfi in performance, it's worth twice the price!
I think they're both excellent products and I don't know what all the
infighting has been about. ProEfi has exceeded my expectations and I'm
sure that it'll be the same for the Syvec guys.

Rep Power: 116 will annihilate them up top. My car is 3 seconds faster than my alpha 28 setup
from 60-180. That's about 500 feet
They're faster then any of the alpha series on record I think.

My last wife was the equalivent to owning and operating a formula one car.
Come to think of it, her wardrobe was in the range of a GT2 rs. No kidding.
