SharkWerks 3.8L GT800 Featured in Total 911

Hey fellas just thought I'd mention our trust 'ole 996TT 3.8L EVO GT800 is featured in this month's Total 911 Magazine Total 911 : The ultimate Porsche 911 site for all the Porsche 911 enthusiasts . I think subscribers get it this week otherwise it's out in Europe already and due out here in the US in a couple of weeks. I remember after a day's worth of driving/talking etc... they decided to do the pix at midnight (crazy-long exposures) which was different

Either way, she's finished, done, complete and EVOMSit'd and just going to get driven from now on

Danke! That car was a long haul.. We learned so much about the whole 3.8 process (not sure I would ever go through it again lol) and thankfully with the new EVOMSit tuning and fuel system she really purrs... I've got one last thing to address and that's a more "Streetable" clutch but other than that she's done

Hey Art, absolutely.... Been running it this was with the EVOMSit since Feb. It really changed the car for me. It honestly idles, drives and operates close to a stock car (minus the crazy clutch). Nice when you have the correct MAF scaling

Here we go fellas... 114 degree heat, 100 octane, 26PSI run in _full_ AWD with a full exhaust and cats and bolt-on GT30s. Hail Mary run on MS109 and C16 but not how I will ever run it since we wanted Todd to numb it down for 91 and 100 only...


However, this is not how I will be running it but I thought I'd show you what she can do if pushed @ 26PSI.
The conditions weren't great but I'm thrilled with the results. 114 degree heat, 100 octane, 20.5PSI run in _full_ AWD with a full exhaust and cats and bolt-on GT30s. The fuel system (really neat set up btw) is capable of more but unless we switch to ext WG's, no cats etc... then we're at the limits. I also want to just drive it on the street. C16 isn't practical and I have a 100 octane station near by so I have two modes, 91 (16psi) and 100 (20.5psi.)

Thanks Kenny! There's nothing like the torque from a TT... When the turbos kick on it's bye bye GTRs
