I would love to drop by your place and test my engine. There are some great roads through the hills in Hacienda hts. I have transplanted a 3.4l 996 carrera engine in my car. I have revo software, the K&N intake and a somewhat screwed up set of headers, 200 cell cats and muffler from a shop in Maryland that was supposed to be designed for the swap. Alas, the exhaust system sounds really great, but there are fitment issues with suspension. I would love to see what you come up with for the 3.2 engine exhaust wise. The 3.4 and 3.2 are (almost) the same engine.
If you need/want a guinea pig for exhaust system work, I would be happy to volunteer!!
BTW nice work on the desnorkleing. I did this a long time ago, and decided it was worth it just for the sound. Glad to see it does add a bit of torque.

Greetings Monte,
Feel free to call my facility, and we can set up a good time to baseline your powerplant. I love the porsche 6-cyl, and look forward to applying some concepts to extract power. I may even take you up on the exhaust testing. I also appreciate your kind words.
Jim, I fail to understand why you feel this test is not factual. I duplicated both results, twice, as stated on page 1. As an engineer, who takes pride in being meticulous, I understand the value of repeating experiments to ensure validity. Such attention to detail has allowed me success in my present field of racing. In addition, I even invested in the most accurate and repeatable chassis dynamometer...no skimping there either.
I am here to share my experience, not to blow hot smoke. Feel free to perform the same tests...I am confident that you will perceive similar results.
In regard to the NACA ducts..at least we agree on that:
I use it to supply cool air to my induction throats!
