I've made a momentous decision this weekend. Decided that instead of spending $$ on a couple of trips to 928 gatherings (a LOT of fun) going to spend that monies on cams for the GTS. Cams and valve springs are around $2K and install is 10 hours. Retuning chips for different cam timing is $500. Should net about 50 hp across the entire rpm range. Kinda like the x51 upgrade for the 997.

Sid:

current plan is that I'm leaving CA on thursday and driving straight to Rolla, I'm probably not going to have time to stop on the way to MO, but will on the way back the following week.

Can you text me so I have your number- I lost all my numbers when I got my new phone so I don't have yours anymore.

Well that does sound like it's worth doing.
50 extra ponies.... that will not go unnoticed.

I still need cams for my rebuild too, don't know which ones yet. (964 or 993 supersport profile.)
Do I really need to get my rockers resurfaced and rehardend too?? that is gonna cost me some more...
I'm also wonderiing, with the upgrades I have. (hot wire air meter, sporty cams, SSI's, M&K muffler) I will need a costum chip.
But once my rebuild is ready and installed, it will drive like shyt because the chip isn't set up fr the upgrades.
Do I take it to the dyno and get the chip updated with a not yet broken in engine?? (my giess is they will go thruoght the entire rev range to get the chip setup for optimal tuning) Or do I break it in with an old chip which it will make it drive horribly??
(Maybe i'll start a thread iun the tech section too)
