Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion
Just make sure that you always have plenty of clean oil in there, change it frequently (high RPM track use is much tougher than tooling down the highway at 90 KPH) and allow then engine to warm up nicely before ragging the crap out of it.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have a 1999 996 3.4l, I would like to put it on the track what can I do to the engine for it to be stronger and more reliable at a reasonable price. Or is it cheaper to run till it blows them get another one... The car will be used just for the track.

POST 2Original post

how many miles...? you need to give us a little more info on what you alrady have etc....... your question is too vague for specific answer......... aside from that..... supercharging your car will ultimately get you to the power desired you want.... all the bolt on's and chip will only yield so much and will be expensive..... just save up for your supercharger and you're all set... but if you are serious about ONLY tracking your car, i say wheels suspension and performance driving course........

POST 3Original post

The question soley deals with the engine, so I would venture an answer of: nothing. Just make sure that you always have plenty of clean oil in there, change it frequently (high RPM track use is much tougher than tooling down the highway at 90 KPH) and allow then engine to warm up nicely before ragging the crap out of it. It's probably all the other stuff (suspension, tires, brakes) that you'll be having to spend maintenance money on anyway. These engines are built tough, for exactly this kind of use. Have fun!
