Tires/ air intake for 996 Turbo

any suggestions for some great track/ autocross tires. I have a second set of wheels and tires for normal use.
Also, what about a good air intake?

thanks

If you want Rcompound tires, Toyo has stock sizes and Nitto has 235's to go with 315's that fit stock wheels. Michelin Pilot Sport Cups are more expensive and need to heat up so good for the track, not so much for AC. I think you will find that the best AC tires that heat up quickly may not be the best track tires and visa-versa.

I rate the agency power intake for the price any way, it makes good gains.

The carbon one it more expensive... unless you want lighter?

The real restriction is from the airbox down to the turbos. That is what you want to open up.
