1999 TWIN TURBO JENNIFER FUND 993
       |
This is the last air-cooled Porsche to podium at the 24 Hours of Daytona! The Twin Turbo Jennifer Fund 993 has been completely rebuilt with a modern AIM engine management system. It is one of the fastest 993 Twin Turbos produced. It Car finished 2nd at Mid-Ohio (Law, Wagner) in the first outing after the tub replacement with the all "Jennifer Fund" blue livery (USRRC '99 GT), and ran some more races that season, then 3rd in GTU Daytona 24 in 2000. It was the last air-cooled Porsche on the podium at Daytona. In 2001 the car was back to the Turbo engine and won the GTS Grand Am Championship. Porsche Motorsports adapted the EVO engine to the GTS rules of the day, Brian Copans did the gearbox work. The car is just finishing a refresh-Paul Willison completed the engine and the chassis has been gone through, repainted and everything is back together again. It has been on the chassis dyno and sorted. It is ready to use. The engine has a modern (and very serviceable) new Vi-PEC V88 Engine Management System featuring an AIM MXL Pista Dash and electronic boost control, all installed by Apex Speed Technology May 2011 with a very conservative (dyno tuned) 510 hp map in the car and it still has the Grand AM spec inlet restrictors installed. It should easily be good for over 700 without the restrictors.
