Thanks Sharky! I think some dyno pulls are in order then!!

What clutch would you recommend? I want a clutch that will hold up to drag strip launches yet still drive with the smoothe, light feel of the stock clutch. This may not be possible but it would be nice.

TurboMike,

Where did you get your car tuned? I live in Clearwater and have been thinking about an exhaust and ECU tune. BTW are you heading to Sebring?

TIA,

Mike

Hey, I live just up I-75 in Ocala! Come on up and I will take you for a ride to see if you like it first. I cannot imagine anyone not liking more power though! I ordered all of the parts from Todd at EVO and had Brumos in Jacksonville do the install. I beleive you have a couple of good tuners down there such as Techart and a dealer or two that are performance friendly. Please give me the info on Sebring.

I will try to upload some pics in the morning. I get the car back from the shop in the a.m. Porsche ran a campaign on the PCCB brakes replacing the pads and rear calipers under warranty. Not sure why, mine seemed perfect.

If you wait about a month, you can benefit from my investigation. The stock clutch was fine in my car at the 550HP level, but is clearly not up to 650-675HP. I am going to put in a Sachs clutch, and will report on driveability & performance once it's installed.

I'd be very interested to see your dyno pulls as soon as you have them. I don't suppose you did any baseline runs for comparison?
