you're making more than 500 to the crank with your setup on a 997S. i made exactly 500 to the crank with my 3.6 liter EVO SC setup and suncoast headers. although i have to admit, that dyno run took place when my car was still running properly

 

Hope so. And I know, I've read the whole saga . . . I'm sure there were times when it was making somewhat less than 500 hp by the sound of things

But I've got a great installer (Stephen Kaspar at Imagine Auto) and everyone at EVO / VF / GIAC has been great, and the whole install and tune seems extremely thorough, clean, high quality and OEM-looking. My car is finished and should be back to me in a few days, and I will report back on what I'm getting and how it's running. - Russ

 

Car is back (see new thread for initial comments / thoughts). With headers, cats and exhaust, plus EVOMS supercharger kit, car is putting out 430rwhp, which translates to 525 at the crank per Porsche's ratings (291rwhp stock versus 355 rated indicates 18% driveline loss). But to me it's not which is better or faster, a 997S or GT3. They're both great cars, with different missions. But just imagine a 997 GT3 supercharged . . . . hmmmmmmm

 

what kind of dyno was it and are those corrected numbers? i would have thought an "S" model would have made more power than that, epecially with your exhaust mods. i made 425 corrected dynojet rwhp on a 3.6 liter.

 

I'm not a dyno guy, at all. So I probably shouldn't even respond. But I don't think these numbers are "corrected," and were done in the high heat of Southern Cal and Phoenix during the past week, with daytime highs in Phoenix of at least of 100 or so. But I don't have a clue how much difference that would make anyway. Although I was told the supercharged 3.8 doesn't peak much higher than the supercharged 3.6 at all, but has more bottom end. We have now, officially, exhausted my knowledge and then some. I'm not really about the numbers when it comes to cars. I just like to drive 'em. And I know that, to me at least, it hauls ***. I know there are plenty of faster cars on here, but I am, for the moment at least, satisfied. (but maybe a smaller pulley with more boost, and some PASM-compatible PSS9s, and a lighter flywheel, and . . .)

 

I think that a 997GT3 with SC won't be very reliable.

 

get the GT3 !!!

even if you mod. a 997 S to the extreme, its still a 997 S and not a GT3

 

If he has already a 997S i would say to take the SC hype. You will save more money with the SC route and you will dust the new GT3 in straight line on your smooth seat and listening mozart quietly. If you care about the look, you could buy the GT3 parts and you are still saving money.

 

Hi, in order to fine tune porsche engines, could we put on full engine stand alone ecu like HKS fcon or Utec?? more fine tuning, more bosst more power, safer ?

 

GT3, no contest IMO

Ya, ya, ya. This guy knows nothing about the 997S.

 

You are a fool. Get a car, then have an opinion.

 

Ok dude . Don't make me drive to Ca just to show you how much I know.

 

A. You can't read.
B. You can't comprehend what is written.
C. Your facts are always wrong.

 

1) You are an idiot
2) You don't know **** about Porsches
3) You are on crack thinking that your CC997 is the fastest car around.
