I'm confused. All of the earlier runs you sent me were two-shift runs. Not three. What's changed since February that you now must shift three times, rather than twice?
Here's a picture of your 9.68 graph (that exceeded the 3.0% maximum decline) that clearly shows you shfiting only two times. What's changed?

No problem, but you missed a few good runs and the earlier the better.
My transmission is stock. There is some debate to why I can not get to 130MPH in fourth gear (60mph – 130mph requires a shift into fifth gear). Mine maxes out at 126MPH. It must be that since the CAB weights about 400lb more than the coupe they change the gearing or that the 2005 Turbo S Cab just came with GT2 gearing. Is it an advantage or disadvantage? I think it is the latter. You can see that I am shifting before any of you (look at videos). My top speed in any gear is also reduced.
Anthony can hit 140MPH in 4th gear in his 997TT. Barrister is also much faster. MS 109 is my equalizer to the FAT CAB.
Turst me, my car is stock except for the mods I listed.
I do get to play with the Revo ECU flash program and tune the parameters with my laptop. It may account for an extra 20HP over the race file that Revo provides.
How much HP/TQ do you think my car is putting out? I estimate above 455HP at the wheels. Who knows, but I can tell you I do not loose many races.

Didn't mean to accuse you of anything; I just noticed how negative i sounded with my post.
I just wanted to get an answer from the person who would know his own tranny. I rarely believe what i hear anymore, just wanted a straight answer. Thanks Robert, for clearing it up.

The only change is when I shift. If I have to get to 130MPH is must be in Fifth gear. If the graph shows two shifts, the two shifts were 3rd to 4th and 4th to 5th (2 shifts).
If I start out in 4th gear at 40MPH, I will only have to shift once (4th to 5th). It should be easy to deduce. The graph and data do not show what gear I am in. I am looking for the specific gear ratios for my 2005 Turbo S Cab and how they differ from (for example) a 2004 X50 Coupe.
There are plenty of other 2005 Turbo S Cabs on this forum that can verify.

We had a great time running this morning. Thanks for making the long to Mexico. Make sure you right click on the videos and save them to you desktop to view. The videos are large so give them a few minutes to download.
4 good runs with the 2003 GT700 Silver and a 2005 996TTS Cab. Check out the rear view mirror! You can see the turbos glowing. 10 meg file.

Robert,
I'm confused. All of the earlier runs you sent me were two-shift runs. Not three. What's changed since February that you now must shift three times, rather than twice?
Here's a picture of your 9.68 graph (that exceeded the 3.0% maximum decline) that clearly shows you shfiting only two times. What's changed?

You and Will were on mix of 100/109 right? So how is Robert's flashed k24 car keeping up with Evo 700 and SG 700 cars. Are you 're 2 cars running right? That proto 700 997 seemed like it was a legit 700+ car, and i heard the other SG 700 was close with the proto 997 car.

Hey Thomas and rest of the guys, nice runs in Mexico.

Anthony’s proto is also a monster and starts to fly in second. I think he also had 109.
I only run 109 in my car with a custom race file I created. That was the first time I upped the boost to 1.2 bar. I usually run 1.0 bar. I did feel a difference in acceleration and performance, but it is not enough to play with the big boys.
I think my next mod is an exhaust. I still can not decide which one to get.

They were on 91 octane with a few gallons of 109 mixed in. John has the other black SG700 and he was running pure 100 octane and pulls hard at 1.4 bar.

So would you say that if Thomas and Will switched to race that would be able to pull like that proto 997 diid, seems like alot of CLs to make up.
