You should be familiar with this McLaren 720S which is stock and it put up some impressive numbers on Toyo R888R's on the dragstrip. It runs a VTG upgraded 991.1 Turbo S as well as a yellow ES850 upgraded 991.1 Turbo S which recently set the 1/2 mile stock internal 991 Turbo record. ...Published on 02-09-2019 06:53 PM
Just in case you need more evidence that the 720S is absurdly fast he is a real world pull against what is a quick car in the form of a 911 GT3. The GT3 is naturally aspirated and not a straightline racer. It can hold its own on the roadcourse though even against the mighty 720S. ...Published on 02-08-2019 10:33 PM
This seems like clickbait from Automobile who is known to put out unsubstantiated articles. We know naturally aspirated flat-6 power is coming to the 982 chassis. This will be in the form of a 3.8 liter flat-6 that is likely a GT3 derivative as Porsche does not produce any other naturally aspirated flat-6 architecture currently. ...Published on 02-08-2019 08:17 PM
Considering the output of 991.2's and what they are running on the strip the axles will become a concern sooner or later. DSS (Drive Shaft Shop) has a solution for 991.2 and 992 models with their Level 5 axles capable of 1000+ horsepower. ...Published on 02-08-2019 06:32 PM
You may recall a PorscheBoost article from a couple weeks back showing Fabspeed working on a 991.2 GT2 RS and developing a race exhaust. This race exhaust does not have catalytic converters or valves. It is all business and sounds amazing. ...Published on 02-08-2019 05:43 PM
Remember California Assembly Bill 1824? As a refresher, if a Police Officer thinks your exhaust is too loud you get a mandatory $1000 ticket instead of the old fix it ticket. Well, you are not the only one who thinks the policy is just a government overreach to grab cash. ...Published on 02-05-2019 07:03 PM
Just another solid result for Tial Sport's 68mm VTG turbocharger upgrade on the 991 Turbo 3.8 platform. This is a 2015 Turbo S from Puerto Rico and the 1/4 mile timeslip is backed up with GPS timed results as well. ...Published on 02-05-2019 05:01 PM
Many sites are posting this information based off a rumor but considering Porsche already put this motor into multiple 718 Chassis' themselves it is an easy rumor to bank on. Odds are we will see both a 718 Cayman GT4 and Boxster Spyder with a 3.8 liter detuned GT3 flat-6 derivative. ...Published on 02-02-2019 10:11 PM
This year's list is a couple of weeks late but this actually turned out to be a blessing in disguise with some major automotive performance debuts and achievements taking place just in time to sneak onto the list. Feel free to check out last year's best and worst of automotive performance list. ...Published on 02-01-2019 05:02 PM
As you know AIM Performance set a new 991 Turbo standing 1/2 mile record with an ES850 kit tuned by @Emre@Esmotor. It certainly is an impressive result for a stock internal 3.8 Porsche flat-6 on the factory stock PDK transmission and the stock fuel system. ...Published on 01-30-2019 08:26 PM
This is a bold claim to make with literally zero proof to accompany it. That is why PorscheBoost is calling the claim out because no VTG (Variable Turbine Geometry) turbo upgrade produces over 1000 horsepower. The closest example would be the Tial VTG upgrade PorscheBoost member @Markblackwell is running. ...Published on 01-29-2019 03:06 PM
You could say this is an interesting field but truly there are only a few standouts. Of the eight cars, does anyone really feel the Ford Fiesta ST or Volkswagen Up GTI really have a chance? Especially when cars like the 488 Pista, 991.2 GT2 RS, and McLaren 600 LT are included? ...Published on 01-28-2019 01:14 PM
Just an incredibly impressive result from AIM Performance in New Jersey with this ES850 equipped Porsche 991.1 Turbo. The car itself is a stock internal 3.8 liter on the stock PDK transmission. The fuel system is stock as well but methanol is obviously playing a big part. ...Published on 01-28-2019 12:34 PM
This is not confirmed information but it was sent to PorscheBoost by a trusted source. Many of you know the B9 Audi S4, S5, RS4, and RS5 models with the Bosch MG1 engine control unit have yet to be cracked and tuners are struggling to do so. ...Published on 01-28-2019 12:12 PM
To be fair, the GT3 RS would kick the ever loving you know what out of the M4 on the track where the GT3 RS belongs. Drag racing or straightline racing a GT3 makes little sense when the 911 Turbo or even now the turbocharged 991.2 Carrera models exists. ...
