!Xoible · 09-30-2007, 06:14 PM

The 335 is going to turn into a money pit if you're not careful...but you're right why spend that much money when you can use it to move up to something like a 996/997....

Yup exactly.

Even my friend with the gto is complaining. He has spent about 6k in mods. Full PP heads and TB. Cams LT, cai, exhaust, fully built c6 z06 rear end. All that crap.

460 rwhp and 410 wtq. it moves but he wants to get a vette now because the thing weighs so damn much.

looks great. why u want CH's for it?

Walked U · 09-30-2007, 06:18 PM

Ok... News time...

So my fabricator ended up calling me, whats why I was gone for a while.

I lost about 10 rwhp and around 20 wtq with the stock dp / cat set up.

Ill make a link about it in the forced induction forums.

I can tell the difference just in the 200 lbs. between the M3 and the Vette, I can do things in the Vette that would have had me in a ditch if I tried it in the M3....

something different then before, but at the same time, I'd buy another set of GY F1's and 199's in a heartbeat if I could find a good deal.
