As we arrived to pick up the first RWB Porsche ever built in the US, we were lucky to catch it on its dynotune. FFTEC of Hayward put a light tune before the Sema Show so we could cruise it around without having to scare anyone on the strip.

At only 6psi it pulled 398 to the wheels with 370 torque on the 964C4 (AWD). After Sema we’ll be tuning this to around 15psi shooting for the magic number 555. This car sounds amazing and scary. Its not as loud as my drift car but on the street, you really dont want it to be.

I bought this Porsche in 2007 after I saw a photo of Nakai’s RWB porsche only dreaming of doing something like it to mines. Today, I’m stoked to see his work done on not 1 but 3 cars in front of my eyes. Super inspirational.

TURN up the volume and watch it shoot out a flame out the rear wastegate.

Pardon the height and wheels, we needed to change em out for the tune. :)
