First mods on my 997 tt

Alright after owning my 997 turbo for over a year I finally decided to do some mods. Nothing to crazy, just doing an ECU, and Fabspeed exhaust with intake system. Now my only question is, since the turbo suspension is already soft. Should I be worried with the extra HP will it feel too soft? I dont plan on ever tracking the car.

i've got the GIAC pump and race software, headers, sport exhaust and air filter without any suspension changes on my 997TT.

even when i'm using the race version (620hp - i'm told with 105 octane), the car feels the same and handles the same. i suppose if you push the sport chrono on it stiffens up, but i've never used it.

hope this helps. i'm not a track racer either, but it still handles great with the added hp.

Not as fast as I thought it would be. It revs quicker and redlines at 7k rpm. The power feels more linear. As for the torque, cant feel a huge difference. My boost gauge stock in overboost would show 1.1-1.2 bar. Now it shows 1.1 and then drops to 1.0. But 1.0 stays longer.
