I'm not terribly interested in all the virtual d**k waving, but I do know that my car is a completely different monster then what it used to be. Kevin asked me if I wanted the highest HP program and I said no due to the fact that I've got stock rods and I don't want the temptation to lead me to engine failure. At what #'s are the stock internals good until?

jags9,
As high as one's wallet can stand I'd presume. I'm looking forward to getting together with you on our next PacNW drive to see how our cars compare.

Measured trap speeds show that RUF cars make pretty much what they claim to make. No more, no less.

I have no doubt that Silver's car is faster than it was as a RUF car now that Kevin got his hands on it.

Yea i just read through everything, hmm! It seems people have some freaks or bad running tuning cars, or maybe its just a conspiracy. But its from what i have been told, from people who drove these cars and said it was faster than XXX car

It's combination of RUF fans inflating how fast RUF cars actually are, and people with non RUF cars inflating how much power their cars are actually making.

Trap Speed wipes away all the BS.

silversurfer - congrats on the upgrades! As in plastic/cosmetic surgery, if you've got the courage & money to do, then why not? Ruf, AMG, Brabus...always room for improvements.

I figure that this guy is a completly pure car guy in that names and values arent important to him...he is a TRUE performance enthusiast with some money...

Ever see the depreciation values of a 996TT...after its been prepped for club racing...???


Respect for OP for acutally doing something to a great car to make it better!

Can't wait to see the results, Kevins kits are awesome from what I hear I'm also impressed he's willing and able to work on the RUF cars, what can you do ecu wise to make a 550 car even more strong?
