FD vs. 996 Turbo???
Just wondering what mods i would need to beat my bro in law in his Porsche. The Porsche is a fantastic car (he lets me take it for the weekend sometimes ) It was actually me that convinsed him to buy it. My mods are dp, cb exh, intake, street ported, 255 lph fuel pump. Does it make sense to upgrade injectors before the ecu? Acceleration and top speed is what im asking about not race track.

Try to take him from a roll if you can. I wouldnt try it standing still! I think you would have to be running about 330 to 340 hp to really put it to him minimum.

I drove a 996 turbo all summer. My brother has one. I would guess that you would need at least 400whp to even stand a chance on the highway. My car is a little over 430whp and it just might be a little faster than the stock porsche was.
A modded 996tt? That's a different story. My brother putt on stright pipes and a new ecu and gained a little under 100whp!!And no matter what people think. The 996 turbo is an extreamly hard car to launch. I would bet that even from a dig an experienced rx-7 driver could keep up.

How good is your brother in law as a driver???
If you want to be sure, get all boltons and if youre still on twins, max them out. Otherwise go right onto a decent size single turbo. lol I know thats what I want!!!

I know my 993TT with the Turbo S ECU did 322 rwhp compared to its rated 424 hp. That AWD system just sucks the power.

340hp will walk a 996T easily. I've done it. You guys should stop questioning and listen to the experienced people tell you the facts.
But if you're still not convinced, bring a 996T over to my house. I'll dyno my car for you and then walk the crap outta the Porsche from a roll on Rt 50 any time you like
