New Member/ introduction and question
Rick M. has been telling me about this sight for awhile, so I finally decide to take a look. Well, currently I have a stock 2001 996 cab
that I have mixed emotions over. More importantly, I have a 1997 993 that was noramally aspirated. About 2 years ago I took my 993 to Protomotive in Pomton lakes Nj. Protomotive explained to me that they provide 3 Stages of up performance upgrades. Stage 1- simply was to strap on a pair of turbo's and a custom built intercooler and twink with the computer and keep my Turbo's at .04 bar. This would bring me approx. 415 hp. Stage 2 was to drop the compression, bigger fuel injectors and go to 1.4 bar, this would bring me approx. 550 hp. Stage 3 was a complete rebuld, which by the sounds of it was more engine they I needed. Currently, I am at stage 1 and for a number of reason, looking for another performance shop that can upgrade my car to a Stage 2. Specifically, a shop that has had experience with this type of upgrade and located in the North East . (CT to Philly.) Please Advise I look forward to getting to know you guy's. It sound like a great group. |

Were you unhappy with Protomotive? I've been to their shop, very clean and professional, and know quite a few NNJR members using them without complaints.

At first they seem to echo your statement. But after awhile I found myself having to fix things that they recommended I change. Also their
price on the stage 2 upgrade was more volitale than the stock market. Finally, I expressed that I might be interested in upgrading to stage 2 but would get back to them after April 15 (Taxes). Approx. April 25 Paul called me to tell me that my parts were in and I would have to pay for them. Sales guys don't like to be hard sold. Also, I have heard that they have had some financial problems. I firmly believe that when you custom build anything it is a good idea to have more than one option, or exit stategy. Outside of the last corespondence with Paul the rest of the group was extremely professional and a pleasure to deal with. I will probably do buiness with them again but as I get further into the customixation of my 911 I want more options |
