My Previous RUF 600 997tt performed similar to a stock car... even worse than there stage 2 which i had before...
I think a lot of us grew up looking up to the Yellow Bird and such....

I don't think the concern is about the past but about the future. I've had a Ruf supercharger conversion and a Ruf 550 conversion - both were of the highest quality.

As the gentleman above said, I think the concern is the current state and that moving forward. No question Ruf has put out a quality product for many many years but they've certainly fallen behind with whatever is going on currently.

The only direct figures I have are the RT12 of Jeff Moore which ran the TX Mile at 181 and 183mph IIRC.
Chris no one is arguing the good products RUF has put out. But when they start rebuilding salvage cars with new RUF VIN#'s and no disclosure the line has been crossed. As someone else said - "even Wicked doesn't do that"

I do, I'll post the numbers later. I tested one that was not performing as fast as it should. We reflashed it with protomotive tune and became a lot faster.
What is interesting in the car i tested and the car listed above, both doesn't have upgraded intercoolers.

How were you able to reflash over the Ruf tune? Ruf solders their ECU upgrades to the DME.

Two years ago i reflashed a 996 r turbo from ruf...Customer wanted something more powerful...the car got 25awhp with just a reflash...and to answer Bobs question,the owner of the car called ruf at Germany asking (with vin verification of course) to send us the original file...Ruf places an encoder between chip and circuit board in order to avoid copy...We had to remove this encoder and retune the original file.then chip was soldered directly to PCB...Also ruf places a plastic frame between upper and lower case of DME in order to raise its thickness...By doing so the encoder fits inside...
