I just run 10psi because that is what I am tuned for and I drive the car daily

Sadly not yet
. The car is doing fine but I decided I wanted a carbon LSD at the last minute and Sharif had to go to a bit of trouble to find a matching ring gear etc but he gave me a deal I couldn't pass up 
(thanks Sharif!) and then the car was getting hot on the dyno (I was trying to get away with stock radiator; a futile exercise - lesson learned) so upgraded radiator, fans, shroud just went in - back on dyno today I hope - wish me luck.

Not on Sharif's Dyno 
It makes that car work for that power Trust me...I know how you feel, but its well worth the wait.

I had him drive the car back to the shop and get on it to see what I was talking about. Well he did. What I was experience was the car burnig two black strip of rubber on the road (on high boost). The LSD put down the power so efficiently you dont really know your laying down some rubber. With my PE kit the car would break loose and the back end would slide left or right. With Carbon LSD it goes strait down the road no more slide action anymore. I know some folks on here can care less or say they dont feel a dif. Like many members have said you really dont know what you have been missing till you drive a car with a good LSD.

so you know what that means. low 10's are easy on a porsche.
I was at Thunderbird Raceway in Arizona a few weeks ago and saw one run 9.80's on slicks. That was his first and last run. He had no roll cage.

Good thing "she" doesn't read the forums. Boy, I'd be in big trouble after all i've spent this year if she saw a comment like that! Honestly I just didn't know where that temp needle would fall. Sharif doesn't push products on his customers, which is nice, but somehow I have a feeling he knew this was coming but let me try "my way" just to provide proof positive that the added expense was necessary. Oh well - live and learn - for me it cost me a few more days downtime
To all those going FI - just get the upgraded radiator, fans, shroud.

Can you post your dyno graph?
Never mind I found it.

Please do a 22psi tune... Your turbos and mine spool up at the same time.

Driving the 850 is totally different. No offense to Luie-but it doesnt feel as fast as the Greddy set-up at any time even up top. I think the reason 850 owners feel the "crazy" top end is from lack of low end. Def not for most people on the forums, in a straight line you really gotta drive the car to keep the turbos spooled. But the biggest + from the kit is the TRACTION! Decisions, decisions....what is power without traction? Its worthless. What is power if you cant stay in it? Nothing as well, see my point?

aftermarket LSD's are your main hope for traction other than tires
all the other stuff - camber settings, bushings, spring rates etc are going to usually be a distant 3rd place
