Whilst I sincerely love this stuff and appreciate hearing about it and to be able to digest all the information, you cannot really be serious with the above statement ?

i am sincere about my statement that you honestly feel like you are driving a stock 997 turbo until you put the petal to the metal. i have had numerous people who i have given rides to say the exact same thing to me.

 

Just wanted to congratulate Les (evoviiiyou) on his Sledgehammer purchase! I will miss her, but at least she is still in the family!

 

Thanks DK. I just cannot believe Tym has raised the bar even further on my new baby. Again thank you Tym, David, Jo, Neil, and the rest of the SPI team. I cannot wait to post some vids of racing some of the midwests fastest cars in the spring time.

 

Thought I would chime in and say something about the lower rpm portion of the curve...

I was there when they dyno'd this car, roughly 6' from it actually, and it wanted to break the tires loose not too long after the run was started. Even with 6 straps on the rear alone holding the car down to the rollers, it would still slip. Tym rolled into the throttle and slowly ramped up the power. The numbers at the bottom of the graph really do no justice of how the car handles on the road whatsoever. The dips on the HP and the TQ lines are representative of tire slippage as well...

It still does 0-60 in 2.5 seconds or better, and truly drives like a dream, not peaky or jumpy at all.

Last night, it ran a 4.76 60-130, and considering that it spun the tires twice in 3rd gear, and had a slow 3-4 shift, some major improvements are still on the table.

 

Man can I pinch myself yet? When do I get to bring her home Neil?????
