Smile SharkWeek Continues... Classic Stage II with some new Werks1 Goodies!

This 2008 GT Silver 997TT project came in for a full Stage II line of upgrades including more power (via the EVOMSit tuning, Tubi Exhaust & Werks1 goodies), improved handling (Bilstein PASM coil over kit) and some other tasty visual aids.

The car is first tuned via the EVOMSit software suite for 91 octane with improved throttle as well in both normal and sport modes.


The Werks1 goodies on the table. Carbon fiber is not only light but also helps keep temperatures down vs cast metal materials. These are extremely high-quality and 100% carbon (not overlay). It makes for a great excuse to use a larger throttle body too (more on that in a minute).


On the left you see the smaller stock 997TT throttle body vs. the larger 997GT3 throttle body on the right.


The Werks1 carbon fiber t-pipe alongside the larger diameter throttle body.


The dressed-up engine bay with the larger diameter Werks1 carbon fiber Y-pipe, T-pipe and 997GT3 throttle body all installed.


In go the Bilstein PASM compatible coil overs and the resultant 1.25 inch lowered ride height:


The RSS bumpsteer/toe-steer upgrade:


We installed the slightly more aggressive looking Aerokit lip:


The gen1 Tubi street exhaust installed (earlier):


TechArt dual chrome tips installed:


Over to the interior and the B&M short shifter kit is installed along with the thicker diameter TechArt steering wheel:


The customer went with 20 inch Neez wheels:


And ready to go home!

Looks great!

Sharky, what are your thoughts on replacing the stock filter with a BMC. I have a used one 1k miles sitting here and wonder if its worth putting on. I noticed the one above still has a stock filter.

Well, with all that Werks carbon in there, I think Sharky should at least be upgraded to this:

Hey L8Apex, honestly we've never seen any gains from those types of things... I mean if your filter is dirty by all means replace it with one of those but they never seem to help
