Mods for a GT3

I posted here and not on a P-Car site because of the friends I've made here and I the quality of the board in general. I see that some of my M5 brothers also have P-Cars...some TT's and some GT3's as well as the assorted 911's.
My question is as the title asks...
what types of mods are available for the GT3??..I know the car is really quite accomplished in stock form....but I cant leave well enough alone....would like to see the Hp more towards 455/475 on a 997...and 425/455 out of a 996
I notice that some members have EVOMS....GMG...etc.
I was hoping someone could point me in the direction of websites...contacts...and offer up some real life experiences with the mods they have done.
In my neck of the woods I am fortunate to have Farnbacher-Loles just 45 minutes away...and they enjoy a good rep.
Appreciate any imput/insight.
Many Thanks
S

Boy, 'doesn't get any better than Farnbacher-Loles; and I know they offer complete pkgs, from mild to wild. Out here in SoCal, GMG Racing (GMG Racing - Porsche, Ferrari, Bentley, Audi, and VW Performance Tuning Specialist ) is a premier Porsche tuner; also capable of expert mod's/prep. M5Ranger has a "full monty" GT3; all work completed by Champion Motorsport ( \\\ Welcome to Champion Motorsport /// ), down in Pompano Beach, Florida. His car is fully track prepped/modified; but still streetable/street legal. 'Pretty sure he's trying to sell it; along with his stock GT3 RS.

Did you buy a GT3?? Or are you contemplating a purchase; then mod?? You're sure getting antsy about your cars these days!!

Have fun "playing"; and good luck!!

Hi Dan, LOL...yeah since my "Bella" died in 07 I just cant get comfortable with a car...lol...I gave up on trying to find a CB/Caramel Beast.....then I thought why not old school...and went to see a 95 E34 M5...fully federalized car but it just did not get me going...sooo...I figured WTF...and started looking for a P-Car....I have a buyer for my M3...so my car budget (with my wifes blessing) is between 65-75k...and I have seen some 996 GT3's in that price range...no 997's..those are still 90k and up....
I will be looking at a few cars...pref. stock form and then Mod the heck out of it...lol
I am leaning towrds Farnbacher but believe it or not they dont have much for the 996 GT3...mostly for the 997 and Turbos....
As for Rangers car....well I am not in that price range....otherwise the man has great taste in Mods...and that would be a no-brainer.
Regards
S

On Dyno Jet my 996-3 is 385 to the wheels

So if you figure a 15% drievetrain loss... then crank HP is around 450

how did I do it... custom exhaust and headers with stock ecu even... pm me or check out rennlist for details

Most stock 996 GT3 will turn around 345-355 hp at the wheels
