LOL! Honestly Jag, i wouldnt know where to start on comparing the two. I've been in a GT700 GT2 so maybe i can compare it to that? I'll do my best, but dont expect much.

What sort of numbers will this gt800 produce? Like 60-130 for example?

those 335s are super HAWT! What are you running on the 9" rims up front? Any rubbing issues? ...and are you running an acceptable street camber as far as wear in concerned?

EVO/we collaborated after doing a lot of R&D with several options. EVO settled on CP (sister company to pankel who is the OEM supplier to Porsche for rods) and specced out 3.8L kit. It's actually changes a lot of things for us and gives us a much better (more exciting?) option when building motors. We've only done 4 ourselves but EVO has seriously been pumping out the 3.8s

Thanks for the kind words... No more drag racing for me- I retired I just drive her to work and back, have some fun and don't change the clutch, tranny or lift heads anymore

Thanks man You can actually get the crazy 4 inch lip and offset from HRE. It's in their system still

There's a bit of rubbing in the front turning full lock but otherwise no it's all good. Camber is 2.5 in the rear.

8.5 in front and 12 in the rear.

Your 996 looks SICK Alex! Absolutely love it! Don't you dare sell your RS or 996 before calling me

Any chance we're going to see you down in TX next month?

Thanks me ole mate... She goes good too (with the right gas). Not selling the RS, in fact, wait till ya see it/ride in it. For an NA car it's not half bad man. It's no TT in terms of torque but she goes good.

TX? Dude, with my English accent, I'd probably get my **** kicked if I even tried to open my mouth... On a serious note, with the shop, the insurance, the liability, the fact that I'm a wuss these days I just can't do that sorta stuff anymore. Besides, I don't even have a single turbo, AEM-ified 1500rwhp supra Half of one with two turbos and a GT2 body kit is all I got
