I'm sure Jake and Charles get a good chuckle when they read these types of posts.

Me, I'm looking for the next controversial engine mod I can do to my Box S. Wish I had more time to drive it (it hasn't been out of the garage since beginning of June; and it's summer!)

Well, I do know (not to “put words in his mouth”) that Jake (in particular) gets agita when he takes his time and money to research and document improvements for the M96, and then posters tell him he is wrong (with little or no support for their position), or that his ideas lack merit because “Porsche knows more than he does”………….. I just hope he and Charles Navarro don’t get fed up with the incredible “backlash” their ideas and products seem to get online and give up. No one else is trying to address some of the issues they have undertaken…………..people should really take the time to listen to what they are saying and at least attempt to understand why they are moving in the direction they have chosen. There aren’t many other proven aftermarket vendors out there for the M96 engine……………

JFP - I agree with you whole heartedly regarding Raby & LN Engineering. While I've only been a Porsche owner for 12 months or so, I appreciate their engineering and commitment to the "cause" of improving the M96 engine.
That's why I'm investing in the low temp thermostat and having it sent out to Australia.
Great tech article though by all participants......

I've seen on this board and others that they're both more than accommodating and forthright with answers to questions of why they make the changes that they do, very professional.
