I would say Evolution Motorsports, Protomotive and Switzer seem to be the obvious and familiar choices. I'd imagine Sportec would have something interesting. Is Gunther still there? I'd make sure of that. RS Tuning are also a huge name, but virtually non-existent in North America. I would personally stay away from GIAC and all of their resellers. Good luck and keep us up to date.

Proto just made 822 rwhp/792 rwtq with a 997 GT2 with bolt-ons: TiAl A30’s, muffler, intercoolers, y-pipe, injectors and a tune.

If I wanted big power; I'd go with Switzer, Proto or EVOMS any day of the week over RUF.

Care to elaborate on why that would be? They consistantly provide amazing results and many members here use their products.

Congratulations on the new car.
You are going to get a variety of answers on this topic. I can only speak for us along with G.I.A.C.
We are an engineering driven company that will celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2011. We have on staff 25 full time employees with most working in Engineering and Fabrication. We pride ourselves on full disclosure of all of our data and test methods.
Examples of some of our work:

We approached the development of the GT2 power package the same way. We started with a clean slate, did not get greedy, and built what we think is the finest package on the market.
The drivability is like stock, but the power is brutal.
There are no add on boost controllers or piggy back devices canceling out much needed factory safety features. Plus we have the benefit of Flashloader technology from G.I.A.C. This allows us to have as many as five unique programs loaded on the DME.
I urge you to send me an email so we can discuss this further.

No link, he told me about it the other day on the phone. Feel free to call or email him about it. I'm sure he'd send you the graph.

I come from a place where has a deeply rooted perception that premium European tuners' products are always far superior and perfrom better than those Americans'. However, when we ask them to put their cars into road test, those Euroepean advocats always refuse to or find excuses to avoid running with our " American junk" according to them!
