What a transformation—sounds like you've really been through it to get that '79 930 running perfectly! The fact that it’s back to full health after the rocker arm issue and some serious tuning is impressive. It’s great to hear you’re getting those pulls in 2nd and 3rd gear now—there's nothing quite like that feeling when the boost kicks in at 4,000 RPM. Definitely a breath-stealing experience.
A Few Thoughts on the Build:
K27-7006 Turbo with SC cams and RarelyL8 headers + Hoonigan muffler—this is an amazing setup for a street-oriented 930. The turbo should spool pretty quickly with those mods, and the sound of that exhaust is probably insane. That low-end torque must feel like a freight train when the boost hits, and the SC cams give it a nice balance of top-end pull too.
Clutch and Granny Shifting: I totally get why you’re taking it easy on the clutch for now—it's a good strategy while you're building confidence. The 930's clutch can be a bear, and it's always smart to not rush things after major engine work. Once you get used to the new engine setup and everything is fully bedded in, you might feel more comfortable giving it a bit more of a spirited shift. But for now, better safe than sorry.
Boost at 4,000 RPM: That’s where the magic happens. You’re already getting solid boost by then, so it must feel like the car really comes alive. The low-end punch combined with the turbo spool just creates such a great driving experience. Keeping your pulls under 6k RPM right now is a good plan—let things settle in nicely.
