I am sure this breaks dozens of rules (domestic and international), but just wondering.

This sounds like it will be one hell of a build!
Actualy its a good idea, but the car has been flaged buy customs after the R911 kit was installed and the transporter brought it back they kept it for a month arguing with us over what was installed now and what was installed before and duties on the work done previously and it didnt seem to end. The 20 year old customs kid was on the switzer web site lol. The car went down for a tranny build.!!

Are you guys going to do a 4.3? i know you guys are busy with your 17 gtr,s including mine any day now, but what about us porsche guys? Nothing new for us? . We need somethig for huge pump gas power, like your new GTR kit. Lets face it, we all want a gtr just to **** kick everyone, but thats one hell of an ugly car lol.

Oouuuuuch! We have some things up our sleeves for the P-car folks, remember, we started working on Porsche Turbos long before the GTR was even on the shores of the US...

, I would rather have you guys do the build, your fit and finish and fab work is amazing, it hurts to see some of the other stuff people put on there cars, exspecialy when i know what they could have got from you for cheaper!
Can we get a hint *** to what your working on? 4.0l, 4.1l, or 4.3l? We need pump gas power.

lets keep in mind of iv had a few builds from diffrent builders/tunners and i not trying to brown nose, im just calling a spade a spade.

buy the way, i dont even like Neil, lol

Slick997,

Try this: Buy a round-trip ticket between Montreal and Cleveland, drive your car to Switzer (Oberlin is 30 miles from the Cleveland Hopkins Airport), get a ride to the airport, fly home to Montreal, then fly back to Cleveland when your car is done, pick it up and drive it home to Montreal. Just make sure you are on the low-boost setting when driving it back to Montreal across the border through customs.

Both 4.1 and 4.3 are good ways to go. Forget 3.8. If you want a good pump gas car, you might want to have a low compression 4.3 car with methanol injection kit. 3.94 seconds 60-130, I actually ran it on pump gas with methanol injection. And I still have some upgrades in my mind that some I'm doing to my motor right now and will be doing the others in the near future, to improve the times to even better. At least that is what we are expecting.

Did you like your X pipe from Todd? I saw you sell your gt3076 kit, i have the exact same kit for sale with the regualr protomotive exhaust, witch i thaught sounded good and was pretty loud under wot. The kit is complete and was slipping my tranny on ms109, It ran a 10.2@ 140 with the tranny slipping, it has 2k miles on it, anyone with a 6speed its perfect, i have the gt3071r and they spool real fast!! if u have a tip you will have to esmotors tranny upgrade. Car ran 10.8@ 135 on pump gas.

You save 10-15lbs, but we didn't sacrifice quality or reliability for weight, we use thick stainless flanges and heavy duty piping.

Yeah yeah, I remember those, man. It's great you can joke about it now but I am sure it was rough then!
