🔧 BUILD Pratt's 997.1 911 Turbo

Pratt’s sneaking u know it will be

It'll be slightly quicker. What ever 40-50 more hp will do.

I'm going to assume that was a "typo " and you really meant 75-100 more hp.

That would be the most expensive 40-50hp gains in the history of TCG!

 

[Jeffs FRC]

40-50hp....YAOK PRATT

 

[greasy]

Shadow Games I tell you…….SHADOW GAMES

Guys, this is about reliability and longevity. Not more Powa! lol

Maybe down the line I'll be able to spend the money to make the big numbers. This round is costing a pretty penny. Those additional upgrades are not in the current budget. Maybe I should start playing the lottery? lol

Moon boost dammit

Knowing Pratt he repurchased the Capri and is swapping that motor in the Porsche!

 

[03GTGreen]

Pratt doesnt need more power, he couldnt even handle what he had, always leaving tcs on with an AWD car ??

 

[BOTTLEFED]

Heard this car is going down to tx2k to take on calvo vipers?

Nah. But a twin turbo LS was in consideration. haha

Says that guy that I have YET to see on a course with us. ?

Pffft not even close. 670 whp will be upgraded to 720 whp. Just a baby build.

So figured I would post a small update. The engine is apart and everything looks great. Except for a bent rod. lol So it seems my idea to upgrade rods & pistons was a good one. haha

Reliability I tell ya!

 

[Jimy Bilmo]

Go big or go home. 900+hp or bust. Now is the time.

You plan to be at the track days at all this year? I haven’t seen this car out since the Wisconsin trip when traffic screwed us out of highway play time

 

[Intel]

So how much faster will this blow by me on the straightaway at autobahn full?

The issue is money. To go more than 700-750 whp means A LOT more money and mods. But if I spent that money, which I'm not, the car could make upwards of 1,300-1,400 whp. But this is not one of those builds.

I'm not sure if I'll drag race it. But I hope to at least come hang out at track days and other events. So hopefully I'll see you around this year.

Potentially, a lot more mph. But we will see if my balls and driving skills catch up to the car's potential. At Blackhawk the speed at which the corner approaches was scary for sure. lol A couple of laps I let it eat and tried braking pretty late. The back end started to dance around with that speed and real hard braking. Maybe need some adjustments. I definitely need more seat time and bigger balls. haha

Can I haz your credit card info, please? haha

Use ZXMustang he's made $50k on his house in 18 months, and he also has over $250k in lines of credit, bro.

That thread has been enjoyable, to say the least. ?

Road america for you sir, one of the best tracks in the country for higher hp cars IMO

One the phrases that really made things click for me when I was still new-ish on the bike was "brake later, brake lighter", but test this in the turns that have plenty of runoff lol (so basically don't try it at blackhawk). The car or bike can handle way more corner speed than you think it can. Before I started thinking this way I'd push the braking zone deeper but just hit the brakes harder, upsetting everything and not making my lap any faster.

RA is definitely a solid track. One of my customer's ran his 997 Turbo up there and said the straights are fun, but his Turbo feels like a bloated hippo on the corners, even with all his mods. Said he prefers his GT3 up there and Turbo on the streets.

It'd feel way more bloated at a track where you spend <5% of the time WOT (which is most of them) lol. At least at RA he gets to use the HP

I don't like technical tracks at all personally
