You are going to make some mods. And you don't think that Porsche engineers with multiple tries at getting it right and with a dyno at their disposal had a chance at getting better results out of their multiple tries than your single "I know better" mods?
porsche engineers designed the ims yes? i always think of that when i get the "porsche knows better' stuff used as an argument.

Like I said in my post...compromise. Personally, I think Porsche did know better, but compromise won out...

Additionally, I think that mikefocke was also on point, and sharing an honest opinion. From my time on this forum, he has provided a great wealth of knowledge and support to those willing to learn. Maytag, I get your wit, and most people know that I am an avid proponent of sarcasm, but I also know when to stuff a gag in my mouth and just listen....not to suggest your comments were inappropriate just not entirely informed. Do a search of mikefocke's posts and you will find the wealth of information he's provided, many times with data to support his points. Other than that, please keep being blunt and abrasive for the world has become too homogenized and bland...and we all need a good splash of hot sauce.

Thanks MWS. I've no doubt Mike is a great source of information, and has been very helpful.
I'll keep learning to better manage my tongue, haha.
