Ron, out of curiosity, did you ever get the F355 dyno'd or have a feel for how much power over stock you gained with your mods ?

That was not important to me. My mechanic said it was much quicker than the two others he had in the shop. He figured a 20 hp gain, or as quick as the 360's he has driven. Nothing like the Porsche twin turbo for the torque I enjoy.

Congratulations on that beauty! I had my 2011 TT manual delivered last year from Colorado Springs and have never been happier. Sorry Porsche decided to leave manual transmissions behind. They provide an incredible sports car experience.
