Just remember that it only gets better with free flowing exhaust, larger 18G compressors and software.

How can you hate that!!

I am sure it will be fine. It is always a compromise between performance and sound. If you love the way it sounds then bay all means keep it.

Look forward to hearing your glowing reviews.

" notquitefob For those of us that can't shell out the extra 10-12k difference to go w/ the 700 Protomotive kit, the 650 will have to do = )"


One of the great features of the PROTO 600 package is that if you decide to go to the 700 in a year or so (which I think most do) or whenever you're ready, all the hardware from the 600 stays in place and the additional P700 components are added to the mix. It's a nice platform for upgrading and keeps things interesting.

A lot of the enjoyment with these cars is the journey and I have truly enjoyed each stage. Stock was good for 6 months or so, then I went to stage 2 and was happy for 3 years. When I got the itch for something more, I tried stage 4 - K16/24 hybrid and that is a really great package. I think I would have been happy for a long time (maybe forever) with stage 4 had I not gotten into 1/4 miling this past summer , but now my goals have changed to reducing my ET and increasing the trap. Based on Scotts 10.6 @ 136 with a PROTO 700, I decided to go down the Protomotive path knowing the 10's are pretty much guaranteed - only a phone call away. However, I am enjoying the journey this year with a goal of trying to see how fast I can ET with the 600. I know deep down inside chances are my car will be getting the 700 treatment after a season and that will be exciting, as well. There is an old (I think Porsche) saying..something about "for those that enjoy getting there as much as being there". I think it applys to modding, as well.

Thanks John... it pays the bills. Easy to spot, not too many trucks have 10" Porsche shields on their rear door and pass door...
