We wanted to share an exciting milestone from the shop that means a lot to us, especially for those of us who still love the early 996.1 five-chain engines. After a long stretch of testing and refinement, our latest five-chain build put down 379HP / 323TQ on the dyno, using the stock crank and rods . This result represents a big step forward for this platform, which hasn�t seen much modern development in quite a while. The gains came from applying what we�ve learned through our 3-chain and Metzger programs, focusing on efficiency and design improvements rather than chasing peak numbers alone. It�s been a process of experimenting, iterating, and learning and we�re really proud of how it�s come together. For anyone interested in the full rundown and discussion about the build and the path to this result, we just posted a detailed video on YouTube that goes through the project start to finish: Pushing the 5-Chain Limit Time to continue pushing.

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.

fantastic work!
I�ll be interested to watch this..
I’m so pleased Slakker 😎 keep up the great endeavor impressive that keeps on going
So what did you do to achieve this ... there is no additional content in the video?

Its a capacity increase to 3.9L and headwork. I'd be happy to have 360hp to match the 996.1 GT3, anything extra would just make it even better!

24 larger valves , 24 larger head ports, 2 Cams with 12 larger duration/lift lobes, 12 larger intake riser ports, 12 larger intake ports ,13-1 CR.. 85 bigger items = ~1hp per item= ~79 more HP .....
