Hey folks, over the past few months SharkWerks has been developing/proofing our 3.9L 997GT3RS 500hp engine thanks to our collaboration with our chums over at EVOMS. Those guys keep on going crazy with Turbos so somebody had to deal with the naturally aspirated engines eh? If you’re into dynos, track testing, exhaust sounds, racing et al. this video we put together (the wife using Avid) should have you covered. We’ve collected a plethora of footage over the last few months and in particular wanted to share some of the facets of real-time tuning made available now with the EVOMSit program. Being a curious lad by nature I always wondered why nobody ever really gets to see behind the (iron?) curtain. So what’s the actual process like? And what are the tools involved when it comes to the secretive “black magic” Porsche tuning? A blend of some very expensive equipment (ok and some skill), good hardware and the EVOMSit set up and we think we have some neat results. For those of you with EVOMSit software now you know some of the how and why. The last couple of years have brought forward some major breakthroughs in our little corner of the industry (just look at some of the EVOMS Texas Mile results) and there’s a lot more to come but for now here’s a taste….

Nice. Kudos to you for focusing on a normally aspirated car. Took *****....you got em. I truly hope that this niche works well for you.

Hi Dave... seriously too kind and better than them being blue It's working out well. I'm enjoying the car so much... and we're building a pair of 3's right now

 

Fabulous, Alex! The vids are great fun. (And thanks for the time on the phone last month re: H&R springs/clearance issues you took with me on the phone last month.) Great to see the continuing work on NA cars! To that end, any similar plans/projects for gen2 Cayman/Cayman S yet?
