Taing it to the next level- 3.6 engine build

I was killing time this morning on the computer and realized it's been a year since last posting ! First and foremost all health follow up visits have been perfect with no issues Second is the car is still as rock solid as ever , only issue is a slight high idle which we believe we have traced to the ECU . Will probably have to pull the ECU and the immobilizer and send to the ECU doctor in Florida . But for now I am holding off as the car is just too much fun to drive . Oh yeah I retired on 12/1/17 at the ripe old age of 60 and there is NOTHING about work that I miss !!! Life is very good at the moment enjoying every day to the fullest . We moved into our retirement house the fall of last year and I'm currently finishing up a 2 car detached garage to house the beast complete with 2 post lift and AC/heat . We are loving it in the North GA. mountains .

Fantastic news on all fronts!! Great to hear you're still enjoying your Rabyized 986 and ,most importantly, your retirement. Keep us in the loop and the sun at your back

So it's been 4 years and 7,000 miles later got a chance to get back to Jake's shop to do some fine tuning . I looked back at my old dyno charts and she made 277 hp and 245 lb. ft. of torque at the wheels when she was new . That was in the winter so cold crisp air . The only thing I have altered since then is I took off the GHL muffler and installed the stock S muffler with a home version of PSE bypass pipes . Jake has a new propriatory tuning system so I decided to try it . Yesterday the temps were in the mid 80's but not too humid so decent conditions .

Basically after about 15 pulls we had it dialed in , the AFR's from idle to 7K are perfect with max hp of 282.22 and torque of 252 ........... at the wheels ! The throttle response is even more crisp than it was which is hard to believe . Idle is rock steady , light throttle or heavy throttle she's as smooth as a turbine . Zero drivability issues it starts great cold or hot . One of the guys at the shop stated mine pulls as hard as some 4 litres he has driven . I know Jake is building some monster motors so mine is a pip squeek in comparison but I wouldn't trade mine for anything at the moment . Driving " the beast " in the mountains is just crazy I can power slide at will or keep her sedate and in control . I can't imagine how many of these Porsche could have sold if they rolled off the assembly line like this one .

Glad to hear it was worth your time and money. Always a great feeling when things work out.
When my engine goes bang I’ll definitely be going bigger.

You stated that she made the first set of numbers at the wheels and then made a big point about the second set of numbers being at the wheels?

Did you make a typo and mean to say the first numbers were at the crank?

Also, those first numbers are larger than the Porsche factory numbers.

Are the first numbers after some mods?

Thanks.
