Had a great Christmas with the family and I'm very happy I have my health back . Drove the beast yesterday in the rain now that was interesting ! Very light touch on the throttle is needed otherwise slipping and sliding are the norm . I will admit power sliding in the wet does add to the fun factor ! I hope everyone has a healthy and happy new year .

pkp4911 not much I can comment on your conversion as I don't have any real world experience with it . What I can comment on is how the engine Jake built for me has transformed my car. It is night and day different between the original 3.2 and the motor Jake built . I don't have the dyno sheet in front of me on the 3.2 but going on memory my new engine is laying down about 70 more hp to the wheels which is HUGE ! Torque also is much more then original . That is just comparing numbers , in real world driving it feels like the gap between OEM and what I have now is even more than that . The car drives like it has well over 300 at the wheels it really is a beast . And the power curve is very linear , it just grows and grows as the rev's continue to climb. No dead spots or flat spots .
From what Jake has told me in emails and personal conversations no OEM 3.6 is going to feel/drive like my motor and that's because of ALL of the internal voodoo that Jake did to it . As he say's it's all in the combo . Add to that all the tuning experience Jake has it's no wonder my car is as good as it is . I think in your case you need to find a tuner that REALLY knows modern Porsche's and how to tune them . That's probably as good as you are going to get without diving into the internals . Good luck with your project .

Hey guys it's time for more power  Haha at least I hope so , if anyone knows Jake he never sits still he's always trying to improve . Part of that process has been coming up with an in house tuner and software vs. outsourcing as he has done in the past . This in house tuning has been available only to engine buyers for maybe 6 months or so . If the planets line up I will be on the dyno sometime next week to see if we can tune some more power out of her .
The last time she was on the dyno was with out sourced tuning and a GHL muffler . As of today the tuning has not changed but I have removed the GHL and installed a Mille Miglia I purchased used . Nothing else has changed other than I have added miles to her . I'm hoping for maybe 10 extra horse and some torque but we may get less or we may get more  This will basically be it for tuning changes , I do however have a factory S muffler that I have modified with bypass pipes via 911brick on this forum . At some point I'll swap mufflers , get her on the dyno and see what changes that muffler makes if any . Other than that I drive her like I stole her

Final clarification , all hp and torque numbers from 4 years ago and yesterday are after Jake built the engine . My guess is she's around 315 or so at the crank . But it's just numbers it's how it drives that is the most important . And she drives very well

Thanks!
Roger, that!
Soooo, the power increase was just from the tuning?
Jake is awesome. He has helped me so much since I bought my 986 in 2015. I shipped my Box to him and he installed his "IMS Solution" and a list of other preventative work I requested.
The car has been a dream.
