Right, standard 6 intake manifold, but maybe not as limited with regards to heads with a 3.9 build. Wonder if this means that a 7 throttle body and IPD plenum to match it up would give a better gain than on a standard 6 if I just did that.

You'd be right Dan it does. We thought the same thing and indeed installed just that

The final drive was not changed on this car. We rebuilt the factory LSD for them using our plates. You can find details of what's done in a thread here called "lsd buster".

The magazine is now out in the UK and online but US folks will have to wait a few weeks... You can check out the issue here (check the cover where it says GT3 Remix)

Today just for fun we used a set of 997GT3 side mufflers and our bypass on the car and guess what? It sounds just like a 997GT3 now and you'd never know it We'll get some vids...
