Yes Scott, I did enjoy the video. It's nice to see that someone who actually knows how to drive owns the car now. I just don't have the cajones to really launch a Porsche hard. I just know I am hearing things break and grind in the tranny when I do that.
Glad to be on here. Daniel pointed me to this site and I am glad he did. Lots of great info on here and nice cars. Seems like a nice group of people also.

For your setup I think Markski's recommendation above is right on the mark. Congrats on the 600HP.
