[QUOTE="Mark Ducati, post: 30191, member: 1246"] I'm a dentist in a very small rural N. GA town... My office is literally 4 miles from my house and I only work 4 days a week. You do the math on that one ;) The 8 mile round trip commute every morning was actually detrimental on the Porsche... the 911/997.2 draws something like 26.5 milli amps and just about every bit of power from the alternator goes to operating the car when its running. This is a weird quirky thing about the new 911's... for such a short daily drive, I need to put the car on a battery tender every weekend to keep the battery juiced... This is my first Porsche and killed one battery not knowing this. For my first few mods, I was thinking of CAI (K&N?) and perhaps some electric cutouts for the exhaust... Before the Porsche, I had a 2007 Z06 with electric cutouts... that 7L V8 with cutouts was wicked! Interesting thing about the GM ECU on the Z06... if you flash the computer and dyno it for more HP. GM can NOT tell that the car was given a new tune... there is NO flash counter on their cars/gas engines... they only have a flash counter on their diesel trucks! So, dyno/reasonable tune... you don't have to worry about voiding your warranty. Can anyone tell me about Fords? If I dyno and tune the ECU, does Ford have a flash counter? Any Ford tuners in the North Atlanta area? [/QUOTE]
