Dan from Vivid Racing helped me flash my 996TT while I was at the Texas Mile. Unfortunately I do not have any great numbers while at “The Mile” to gush over…. Yet… I can tell you that on the first day of the event I made several passes all of which were pretty consistently around 165MPH. We flashed the car on Saturday and right afterwards I let a friend make a pass , his pass was at 167MPH however he had never driven the car before or even a Porsche for that matter. On Sunday I got to make one pass which again was at 165MPH however what transpired on that pass was just sad. Everything was going great until I shifted from 5th to 6th no wait I shifted to 4th instead, then back to 5th and finally to 6th – I am not proud of it just trying to be fair. So I matched my previous runs even with a pretty serious driver error. The car seems to deliver power much earlier in the RPM range than it did stock which makes drivability much better. I have also noticed an increase in Fuel economy – Pre Flash I was averaging about 16.5MPG Post flash I am averaging 22MPG that alone will pay for the flash over the life of the car. I plan to Dyno the car and then change out the stock exhaust to Cats and Straight pipes. I also have plans to lower the car 1inch, with the goal of 175MPH at the next “Mile” in march. Am I addicted to this type of event — you bet your ass I am .
