Congrats, there´s alot of passion in this project
How many Hp is this car making at the cranck? Would love to see a comparo next to a stock 997.2S PDK to see performance difference.

Sharky did you read the article regarding the "Optimise PDK Launch Control" ? Curious to know what they have to say about it.

Thanks J.Seven, for sure we had a lot of fun with this car. I was reading the article on "launching with the PDK" last night. Didn't finish it yet but so far so good...

Our car comes out to 405hp to the crank. There's more on the tuning and the suspension work that we did to get it "there":

I see in your link there a picture with car on dyno with rear lid closed. Does your front blower sufficient to replicate actual airflow wrapping entire car?

On my dyno runs and from what I was told by other people I think it is a usual custom to open up rear lid and point another blower into engine compartment together with blowers in front. Or do you just neglect such minor differences?

When you run it open it'll suck in hot exhaust gasses so generally keeping it closed it better. It's only a 40mph fan so being able to replicate proper airflow is always tough on these cars;(

Thanks for the link and I enjoyed reading the article

But I found 1 big mistake: the springs are Techart and not H&R, right ?
