Champion know what they are talking about. That being said, we are a SoCal Switzer installation facility. They have high quality products that make good, safe power.

Champion plain and simple. Look at the track record based on performance, survivability, backing it with their warranty. A 911 w/Tiptronic can be safely built to 675 AWHP. Champion is rock solid and the largest Porsche dealer in the world. Champion builds the top 5 fastest Tips in the world. These are all on facts. 1200 on a stock engine is not. I dont beleive you can get 1200 out of a Tip period (even on forged internals).

I would also do some research on exactly how fast a 675AWHP TIP actually is.

There are several good shops on this forum Champion being one of them. I view them as trend setting (pouring much $$ into new products and test cars), honest, strong ethics and integrity.

From my experience in racing !!! and upgrading P cars in Different levels , i can tell you that stock motor will hold the power to 900hp but it Depends how you run the car and what boost you are gone run !!! am using my car which i think its 800hp (Tip) as DD car and run it hardly in the weekends but i never boost it very high , i strongly recommend you to look for tuner who know very well about porsches and

To be honest my vote is to www.911tuning.com !!!!!!

They put his name on the GT1 engine -
Over the next decade, Hans Mezger’s work ranged from the design of the legendary six cylinder boxer engine for the Porsche 911 to the development of the legendary Porsche turbo engines used in both production and racing cars.

This is one of those threads like the lottery winners make: what's the best car for 1,000,000, then a bunch of people start by writing down tens of cars, yet at the end there's no final answer and people waste a lot of time and mental energy by coming up with solutions for one's problem, while the OP watches and maybe amuses himself with the ideas people come up with.

To the OP: unless you'll give specifics and prepare yourself by reading into the Porsche tuning world all you'll get is a bunch of answers, no idea what to do and so on.

My advice: know what you want, search for similar ideas and start from there. Maximum price is not a starting point. Get a feel of what you want, then go from there. It's much easier to ask: "what can I get to give me the best OEM feeling on the street, but maximum power and reliability with VTG turbos" than to ask "what can I get for $60,000".

We do this on a daily basis by focusing on the strengths of our team's talents and our products, and NEVER by belittling those of our competitors. If it is true that these are the things our competitors are saying, then itt's seriously upsetting to me that others stoop to that level.
really ?

The article states that Champion Motors, which was the Porsche/Audi dealer went into Chapter 11 in 2009. It also states that neither Champion Motorsport nor Champion Racing were part of the bankruptcy. Another article* says that the plan was to sell off the Audi dealer to a company out of California and the Porsche Dealer came out of the bankruptcy with a new lender for the floorplan, Wells Fargo. It appears that this has all happened by now.

Thought that statement was pretty shocking when I saw it, these are the results of my googling.

^^^unvmy996^^^ read completely before speaking/writing:

The bankruptcy does not affect two related companies – the well-known Champion Racing sponsorship company and Champion Motorsports, which makes high-performance wheels.

atlboy:Think of Champion as developer and vivid as a reseller of aftermarket parts. Also take a little cash from your 60k budget and go visit the shops you are entertaining. After visiting your top three choices the your decision should be clear.

unvmy996...You may also want to make note of the fact that these events were unrelated to our business here, or to Champion Racing, and that Champion Porsche is still the world's largest and most successful Porsche dealership. Oh and of course, the obvious fact that this took place over two years ago...and well what do ya know...our doors are still open.

The comments made were apparently that we're currently bankrupt and close to shutting down...LOL!

I had no idea bankrupt companies could do stuff like this...
