Add 58 Hp in one hour

I was strolling through the shop earlier today when I walked past our 997.2TT and thought to myself, man, in one hour I can do a GIAC flash and add the entire horsepower of a Porsche 356 1500 Super Coupe. Pretty amazing stuff when you think about it.

Just my thought of the day. To see what I’m talking about, check this out.

I'd still have the split windscreen 356 over a 997.2TT.

That is crazy. It's amazing what a difference a little chip can do.

I see on the site, it says .6 seconds quicker to 60. And it also says the normal 997.2 Turbo does 60 in 4 seconds, and the GIAC in 3.4. On Porsche's site it says a standard manual 997.2 Turbo does 60 in 3.5 seconds. So I'm guessing you guys are just being conservative?
