I would like to add about 100hp to my 997. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

That's a pretty easy fix. You'd do an ECU upgrade/flash/software, an exhaust and highflow cats and on 93 octane you'd be right there.

Alex...I wanted to add a little bit more than 100hp. Have you ever installed one of these in your workshop?

I cant beleive how much power you pick up from a freakin ECU flash on these cars....can somebody thats had their ecu flashed chime in and explain how big of a kick in the butt it feels like after you drive it with the ecu flashed...how it feels, whats diffrent, whats quicker...

The ECU Flash changes ALOT. Because it alters the boost fuel and timing, you get a HUGE increase in the low end torque that we all use and love. Throttle response is much quicker and the car pulls harder all the way to redline. The car will go from running .9bar to about 1.1bar or 1.2bar with sport mode. Either way the ecu flash is the best bang for the buck. I will always recommend an exhaust as well as the factory one is very restrictive.

That's ok. I'll just set the coordinates to when they released the first generation and get it in Basalt Black. I just hope I don't run into Biff...

check out www.switzerperformanceinnovation.com. Exhaust with offroad pipes, headers, uprgraded turbochargers, and ECU flash gets you 700HP (on 93 octane pump gas). talk to Jo as they are making some smokin' deals right now.
