Thumbs up

Now the irony was: my torque was well over 700 level and that's where all the beating happens. It's all about good tune, timing, and good octane BBi did their homework well

I have seen some of Proto's work in person and i hope their tuning is better than their fabrication.. What i saw under a 997 turbo was heartbreaking.. Mig welded manifolds, mild steel flanges, a camaro like rear mild steel rusted muffler.. I found it hard to believe.. however the unknowing customer thought he got a deal for 20k.. LOL

Still pushing through - we'll have some big 997 and GTR news almost at the same time in the next few weeks!
