F#@* the 941's. TOO many mishaps. Get the 918's. They are BY far the best performer to date!

Can you list all of your mods? Do you have the stock catback (with those numbers and times)? Port TB? Larger MAF? M6 or Auto? .. Those stage 2 heads seem to work pretty well with your setup <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Kev I call bs on your 11.3 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> What mods?

I've got more or less all the bolt ons you can get, and I took 150# or so of weight off the car in addition. Going from the MMS 224v3.1 to the 229v2.1 did drop .2ths though and pick up 15-20rwhp.
