Quicker way to kill myself?

What does the 410 Manthey (sp) Power kit consist of, and how does it affect the warranty. Just curious. My car has more power than I can handle anyway. I scared myself yesterday on the freeway passing two trucks and making a lane change.
Does the kit negatively affect in-town and slow traffic driving.

I'd like to learn the same. Rennworx in SoCal, the dealer for Manthey in the area offered to drive his but I have not had the chance yet. I believe
they change header, exhaust system, air filter and ecu mod. They show a dyno curve on their site www.rennworx.com . Has anyone else done something similar?

Hey Doc, you may have just answered your own question. It may be a little early to add power to an already powerful machine. You must respect that power or you will definetly get in over your head. It is about managing that right foot anyway. Good luck with your decision...

Yea seriously, that's such an oxymoron lol, but hey its your car and your money, do w/e you want obviously.

Listen if you arent comfortable witht he power and the car now, why mod it, so you can say wow im scared to drive it? That's not what having fun in a car is all about

Mine has the 410 kit. It has everything from the heads back-exhaust
headers, racing cats, mufflers and tips including the ECU. I dont know if it affects the warranty. I have all the stock stuff if I need it. It passed Ca smog with it.

Actually I dont think it comes with the ECU -the former owner bought it just in case he wanted to go all the way back to stock with out
reprogramming and losing his Manthey program.

A buddy of mine has a CUP car and he said mine was stronger. I dont know. I dont think you'll get hurt by it -its still not as strong as a GT2.

I probably need to drive the car a lot more, and get in some DEs before I even think about additional HP. The more I drive this car the more in love I become. The car had sat for a considerable period of time and needed driving. I've seen improvement in the 250 miles I've put on it.
This car is my idea of what a Porsche should be..excellence is expected, and given.

Get used to the car, then ad a chip, get used to that, ad exhaust.
Have you set the car lower and done the aligment, that helps alot too.

Car has been lowered to ROW height, but no alignment done. The car follows slight furrows (rain groves), and definitely wants to follow the slightly raised berm when exiting a freeway/highway (shoulder).
I'm having an oil change, adding Fabspeed mufflers, and an alignment next week.. salesman told me the car does not have the GT3 alignment, and the car is darty at times.
