Keep in mind my car turned 24+ mph faster than a stock C6Z06 and 16+ mph faster than the 08 (650hp) Viper on a standing mile run-off with a crappy soft launch. Both those cars have run 10 second quarters bone stock.
I am very happy for you...I am looking to buy 997 TT now and going to be looking for 700 kit from this boards tuners...Right now its AWE700 or EVO ET700...Evo says on their website that thier kit is fastest...proven in Texas mile...
GT the Evo was very fast - might have hit 195-200 mph if the winds weren't so strong. There is a difference though in that the EVO car was their shop car - a car tweaked for maximum power, and stripped for weight savings. The AWE kit is designed to be a finished product for someone who wants serious power but without any drivability or reliability issues, and one that should be free of hassle (my wife has been driving it for the past 2 weeks). It is also a kit that is readily installed with the tuning already fully sorted out - you don't need to ship your car to them for the install

I want the kit that makes most power...and still relaible...

EVO's car is a manual and I beleive that eclou's car is also a manual.
For the kind of power that these cars are putting out, the manual transmission is better IMO. That is not to say that a tip would be bad, it's just my personal preference and opinion. A few mags tested the STOCK tip 997TT's running faster than the manuals, but it was only a couple hundreds of a sec, something that in the real world could not be noticed by you or me.
GT RUS,
I would consider staying with the 6spd manual just because you can upgrade the clutch to handle more and more power. I think with the tip there is not much you can do to strengthen it (it is already pretty strong) if needed

Yes..700 kit is enough to start with...the only thing that all people on this board have 6 speed manuals...I have not good offer for Tips...+ all the tuners are telling me that 6 speed manual is way to go
but with 700 kit Tips again will be faster...although it revs to 6700 rpms only...

Anyway, the new tranny which Porsche will introduce this summer on basic 911 is way to go!!
It should be on Turbo year after!
Tip works for me until that day!

Can you list what comes with the kit? Is an ECU map flash done as well, if so how would this be effected if I did a DIY fitting of the kit.
Sounds like a wonderfully engineered upgrade. Congrats!
