awesome if true but the website is kinda dinky so i unno

 

Generally speaking, non-factory chips add peak horsepower at the sacrifice of power in the lower or mid range. I would be skeptical of horsepower claims for an engine that Porsche has already "tweaked" quite a bit.

 

I call bull$hit on the GT3 numbers right away. Absolutely right about peak HP figures. I bet the avg. HP across the entire band is reduced. Of course if you track it and never dip below 5k rpms on any given lap then its all good

 

I am willing to bet that the Porsche claimed 415hp is closer to 430 when tested on a Dyno, (Porsche underrating) in that case, this "ecu upgrade" only bumps it up 10hp from there which is beleivable.

 

Understood, but companies that make such claims need to post 3-4 dyno sheets, then I would be a believer. If you had a product and wanted to market it right thats where I would start anyways.

 

I agree. Before and after dyno's are the only way to validate hp claims and make mod purchases worthwhile.

 

What were 996 GT3's dynoing?

 

Guys like Jay W and Rockit were getting 376 and 390 RWHP.....with cat bypass and europipes on their cars. These cars are fast.

 

And stock cars dyno around 400hp crank.
