The boot plopped straight down onto the dyno and looked exactly like a pile of black dog poop. It looked like the car spun up the dyno then pooped.
Did however do, 31mm torsion bars, 180-410 progressive front springs, Weltmeister adj sway bars front and rear. Lowered enough that those little plastic dodads on the side skirts right in front of the rear wheels were flat spotted from rubbing the ground on hard turns, especially if there was a bump. Had to drive it up on 2x4s to fit a low profile jack under it.
Kept the interior stock. In fact, even quit removing the spare and tools to autocross. After I got the setup dialed in I set FTD at an autocross and was the first one to give someone a ride on the fun runs. The ax timer had been left on and someone noticed that with the 300lb. passenger I had matched my FTD exactly.
When I described this to the racer guys on the 928 board they claimed there is no way my FTD was as fast as the car would lap I got the same lap time with and additional 300 lbs.

huh.... i really should get my car on a dyno. i have the autothority chips for the 951S and the banjo bolt. it builds 15PSI of boost and holds it pretty good. i usually run a race exhaust in the summer (which makes a good difference with the lag.
i am going to replace the waste gate this spring. i am pretty sure the one i have is not working properly. i will probably put a shim in there, just for grins.
