After watching how well she took to the track, I figure she'll be looking for more power for next year. I'm just planning ahead for now.

What do you think would be a good upgrade? A tweaked 13b?
I've been told it's a simple drop-in solution, and I don't want to get stupid on $$. If we're looking at more than a few grand, I'll just upgrade her to a 911.


edit: Your lines are big enough, but what's pushing your fuel? I hope you upgraded to a bigger pump!
Have you considered doing a port job on your wifes car?

An aggressive street port will make a lot more power. If you want, and your willing give my mechanic a call I would love for you to use him even though he is far away, he is really good with FB's more than any other generation.

He has a ITA racecar as well that has won a few races as well. He knows how to get the most power out of them bith legally and when "being innovative"
I'll PM his contact info to you. A good port job with a few other tweeks will get you another 50-60 HP in that car. Throw in a light weight flywheel and you'll have a nice little screamer. Has it been lightened as much as possible?

The fuel for my car? Enough to support 700RWHP!

Here is the fuel pump, its a monster.




Then we upgraded the fuel rails to move the fuel. I cannot wait to dyno this car. I am afraid I do not have enough Turbo anymore. I have a GT35R (ball bearing turbo that is about 30% larger than my current one) sitting in a box just need a manifold.
