Hello everyone i drive a 2007 porsche 997s. Currently I have a full set up by Fabspeed. I have a (catless xpipe, mufflers, and competition intake). I have a tune from softronic, ( but if there is any other tuners or maybe somewhere to dyno tune?). installed sprint booster, Upragded gt3 throttle body as well as upgraded 82mm IPD Plenum. I have upgraded to KW3 coilovers, upgraded my factory sway bars with 24mm h & r sway bars (front and rear), and installed a front strut bar. Is there anything else you guys would recommend to add or change? Im always eager to hear other peoples advise on this?

 

What is your goal? You tracking the car, or is this 100% street set up? Fabspeed is fantastic and can Dyno-tune the car at their facility! I did it and am glad I did.

 

light weight wheels: research the benefit of unsprung weight reduction

 

i honestly have it for street set up right now. i feel like something is missing and cant figure it out....

 

I agree with the question above above about your goal for the car. Are you looking for top speed? Are you looking for the fastest acceleration possible? Are you looking to improve your enjoyment on curvy roads?

Every change that you make has a consequence. You really need to decide how you'll use the car, How to change it to meet your goals, and understand the drawbacks of each change.

The changes that you've already made sound good, but it doesn't sound like a car that I would want to drive every day. It sounds like you are making performance/track oriented changes. Maybe you should consider a supercharger. How about a Porsche OE aerokit? How about a proper roll cage and some racing seats?

 

my recommendations are lightweight wheels (I have volk TE37's) and numeric racing shifter. Both will transform the car feels like in a good way

 

This is not my daily. This is more of my weekend car. I was considering changing the seats, maybe go lighter wheels. Was thinking of upgrading my underdrive pully. I don't want any forced induction cause I don't want to give that much stress to the motor. I wanna keep this as an all motor. Just looking to squeeze everything I can.

 

Sounds like what you really need is a TT or GT3...

 

ive considered them for my next porsche, but i mean i pretty much converted my 997s into a gt3. I have also upgraded its front and rear bumpers as well.

 

There is always more you can do even staying away from the forced induction side. I'm not sure if you missed it but I did not read if you had headers or not, but you listed full kit. I would do the headers first if you have not already done so, other than that you're going to be maxed out on power. I would maybe look into a lightweight flywheel which changes the overall feel of the car and makes the throttle response almost instant.

Other than those to things a set of lightweight wheels would absolutely help as well!

Please let me know if you have any other questions, I'd be happy to assist!

Thank you for your support, it is greatly appreciated!

 

Yes I have headers as well. I have full fabspeed exhaust from headers out. Fabspeed competition intake, tune, kw3s, swaybars. Thinking of upgrading my underdrive pully. Any thoughts?

 

Ummm, no you didn't. I wish it were that easy, believe me.

 

Umm actually I did. I've put enough money to argue with you on that. Plus I have driven and raced a 997 gt3 on and off the track and believe me when I say I'm faster. Not saying that there isn't ones faster then me. Clearly it's not that easy but if you have the right funds your good. My car has the entire setup that of a gt3

 

Well you're sure doing it right! Depending on the percentage of the underdrive pulley there could be some negative side effects. The higher the percentage, the more it takes from elsewhere, you could start having electrical loss issue at idle and low rpm from it not charging the battery enough. That is not something you want on a chilly rainy day coming home in traffic with the with the wipers, heat, radio, and headlights on. Just something to think about.

I really think a lightweight flywheel and an upgraded clutch would really make the car feel and perform much different. How fast the car is going to rev with those installed is unbelievable.

 

I was considering tarret engineering under drive pulley or the rss under drive pulley. Anyone have any experience with this? I am now also looking for some lighter wheels.
