Alright a high noon drag race duel at Gimli! With any luck we won't get disturbed by any dead stick 767s
I was actually driving through Radium down into Nelson BC just a while ago...phew what drive still did get me primed enough for the out right speed of track driving the following week

regarding the dme adapting to the larger maf housing i agree, BR has gobs more experence than most of the rest of us combined and says it works. he said in a different thread that he's going to try it on one of his cars and see if the air/fuel ratios adapt. i know i have read of people doing 3.4 swaps and not having the maf appropriate to their dme and having problems, so definitive results would be nice. it may be an issue of cumulative change, also; the dme can adapt to the maf change, and the dme can adapt to a higher flow intake, but both a higher flow intake (and exhaust, etc.) combined with the maf change change may exceed the learning capacity of the dme.
i'll tell you what: you do the cayman change, i'll do the 997 change, and we'll meet in the middle and compare (manitoba - geographic centre of canada - gimli motorsports park)!
