That does sound pretty good. For the time being I'm keeping the Tubi exhaust on the car. We shall see....

I really have no idea, but the 550 Rufs have put down really good numbers over on Rennteam.

On pump gas, 0-300 kph in 32 seconds...Carrera GT time. Trap speeds are 125-127...I did read about a 130+ trap, but that was overseas. Pretty amazing for exhaust and ECU. I haven't seen any numbers on pump gas for US cars, Gene had really great numbers on 50/50 pump/race gas with GIAC and AWE exhaust.

The entire decklid and spoiler are carbon fiber. It weighs a lot less than the PUR/aluminum stock deck + hydraluics.

I'm painting the decklid, leaving the spoiler carbon fiber.

It's about 10 mins from the RUF guys. We are next to love field at Lemmon/Inwood. Ask the RUF guys about our facility. Did you see the "pics from the party"?

The thing is Ruf tests on an engine dyno, so you can trust that the motor makes at least 550 not just some peak for a milisecond on a chassis dyno. I think the chassis dyno is only useful as a tuning tool nothing more.

Agreed! BUT, We have the special Dual AWD Racing set up! We have these dyno's as tuning tools but you can also do standing mile runs, 1/8th mile, 1/4 mile, top speed, 0-60, elevation changes, drag races etc.....It would nice to see the AWHP or RWHP/TQ! It is just a #'s game!!!
