I spend a lot of time on the track and have seen a bigger performance increase from a 1 psi tire pressure change than I have from any of the engine work I've done. having said that, I've put a lot of time and money into bolting performance enhancers onto my engine. why? because that's what car guys do. something about tinkering with your car, then going and wringing it out, mebbe breaking it, then back to the garage to tinker again. sort of like being an artist, only I get to race my creation so I got it better.

In the words of the great Yosemite Sam... "Whoa camel.... WHOOOA CAMEL!"

If this is a forum primarily for racers, someone let me know, cuz I'm in the wrong place. I own a nice pressure gauge and compressor and check my tires once a month or so, but that's to keep on top of wear. I'm not averaging asphalt temps to optimize my daily ride into work.

I've already got the EVOM intake (swing for my knees, I'm cool with it) which is sitting until I decide upon an intake plenum and throttle body. Down the road, headers, an exhaust and some software and I'm done. Except for the plenum (OEM 997, IPD, Werks1), Fabspeed seems to be my one-stop-shop. It's enough additional hp to notice but not stress anything. Keep the factory parts and enjoy life.
