Your video brings back fond memories. I ran my MCS with a bunch of Porsches during one of their club meets a few years ago at our local SCCA track. I didn't pass any of them either, but I sure had fun trying . Actually, a track-equipped MCS will give the honorable 944 a run for its money.

Low-end torque is elusive on small displacement motors that build power on high revs like the R53 Tritec does. The newest ('11) R56 engine produces considerably more low-end torque using variable valve timing and fancy turbo boost management.

Your R53 is nicely equipped. I believe a tuner (like RMW) would recommend replacing your cam with one designed for more low-mid range. Of course you'll sacrifice some top end as well, but this may be a reasonable trade off.

 

Any pictures of your car? It looks like you have a Porsche GT3-esque theme going?

 

nice vids

 

New cam and bigger injectors, and most importantly a new tune. Made a big difference in my low to mid range power. Cool video!!

Fun video, your lines looked pretty good, couldn't tell much about your shift points, but they sounded pretty good also.
