I just finished the Stage 1 Mod - air box, K&N, and RS Barn chip - very effective and well worth the small time & money investment. Car definitely has more pull over the entire rev range (particularly above 3500) and is much smoother on take off. I read a great deal about the options and results on this site before doing the mod - very special thanks to all of you who invested your time and money developing this easy DIY upgrade for all of us to enjoy - (i didn't want to mention names in fear of leaving someone out)

For interest's sake, are you running 93 octane gas or the crappy 91 stuff we get here in California?

I love my 968 for what it is & don't hate it for what it isn't!

Actually running Sunoco 94 - we get that in Canada - only so we can pay more taxes on it i'm sure. I'll proably do the stage 2 upgrade next spring with the chip credti RSBarn offers

Hey pbc1548
Did you do all the parts/mods at once, or one by one? I am going to do the same type of set up but was wondering if the difference was noticed at each step.

I did all the mods at once so I cant say how they work individually, but collectively, they're great - well worth it.
