12.9@112. You can run close to a 997S with your 107 hp and 33 lb/ft more and only weighs 90 lbs more than a 997S.

- Dinan Supercharger Stage 1 Kit (NO intercooler)
- Dinan exhaust (muffler only)
Headers, clutch, flywheel, rear differential, section 1 and 2 are ALL STOCK.
Since this dyno, I installed the Evosport headers, high flow cats and Milltek full exhaust system. Will do another dyno pretty soon.
BEST HP: 371.03 hp at the wheels; with 17% drivetrain loss = 447 hp at crank
BEST TQ: 263.31 ft/lbs at the wheels; with 17% drivetrain loss = 317 ft/lbs at crank
BTW, I did a total of 7 runs, the first 5-runs were wasted because they couldn't get the rpm reading.
Comparison with a slightly modded M3 (not sure of the mods - maybe chip and exhaust):
BTW, here's another pic of the steering wheel:
And just got the UUC shift **** with matte-silver insert to replace my current one with blue insert:

very nice indeed 
Very nice power curve (its actually power line as it never curves down! ) Yes I assumed its low boost. I assume Dinan did this since the motor is high compression so with/without intercooler you can't run so much boost. I think this is great setup sepcially for a daily driver. I bet its a fun ride.
As always if you wanted get crazy with it I assume you could pull the motor lower compression and raise boost via your supercharger or go turbo.
Cheers
