running stronger then ever. Had a mouse eat the knock sensor wiring harness. Gave me an excuse to to the ipd plenum and 997turbo throttle body.

retuned it, she flies. Likely going to bend some rods on it soon. Which means a motor rebuild 😂

Any new Dyno / Dragy data from the retune?

I'd guess you are pushing at least 600whp.
