the cams and the rest of the modifications have actually made the car more responsive and i now use 1st 2nd 4th 6th most of the time and it pulls from 1500 in 6th without any complaint whatsoever
my biggest problem is that it now revs so fast in first and second that i have to concentrate alot more to avoid slaming into the 7200 rpm limit so hard that it slams me forward in the seatbelts
seriously this package seems to works with it tracked on a qtr of 12.6 at 107mph and by gps 4.6 to 100kph or 62mph

Weight! I got my 996 inthe 2700lb range and it felt like I added 50hp! I read somewhere that for every 100lbs you loose it's like adding 6hp. Not to mention your stopping distance decreases significantly. Weight and balance, maybe more important than sheer HP.

Good luck.

See sig for mods - Can't beat the combo of Lightweightflywheel, GIAC and Evoms intake.

 

what did you remove???

Im getting one of those Brale batterys do i get the 6lb that says track use or the 11Lb which says every day use??

 

I have an Odessey PC 925 much lighter than factory at 24lbs, AND still has enough *** behind it to keep you from getting stranded. Plus I added a billet box that looks way cool.

There are better place to get real weight.

Exhaust
Headers - save 12lbs
Cat Bypass - save 30lbs
Mufflers - Save 15-25lbs

Seats
Save 120Lbs!

revmove tire and spare. Add a can of fixaflat and a cell phone! Save 20lbs

Flywheel Save 15lbs

Rear Wiper Save 5lbs

Wheels -

Before any flames - weights are estimates, thank you.

 

I like the odessey battery...my factory battery is 52lbs i did the headers and mufflers...mine are M&k which are very light.

I like the idea on the spare tire...

I have a cab so no rear wiper...just a convertable top...

Thanks for the ideas...

 

i dunno why people put down the 996 na so much as far as tuning it is concerned. I am probably bias because I have one and many might not agree, but overall it has done pretty well for what it offers. Handling is great, and if you're pushing it to the edge of its capabilities the mods will be good and very useful. There is much to be squeezed out of it if you do it right. It definitely is not a 1/4 mile dragger, but compared to cars of its time 99/00 it is a good contender overall if not the best bang for buck even when it was new. I've had mine since new in 2000, and I've had difficulty in letting it go because it still does the job.

 

no need to worry about flames, this is what i'm talking about...someone who knows his stuff.

i followed your same path, i'm working now on the details like the battery, sunroof, wheels etc.
