Hey NickD

Yes, mine 944 was mapped by the previous owner at BCM. Bruce built the motor. I assume it was perfect out of the gate. It was just the difference in alt. and temperature that upset the motor. When I took it to Laguna a couple of years back it ran perfect with no pinging at sea level and cooler temperatures. It going through a radical rebuild as I speak. You know you can buy Marvic Mag wheels cheaper for my 1999 SSie, than a set of ten spoke Forged Aluminum wheels. Think I’ll go with the Mags. Oh Lofgren is getting to tune this one also.



944s

If he added the kit and did no rejetting to the carbs that motor will ping like a mother from a lean mixture. He just added 44cc of additional flow to the motor. It will even hole a piston if left like it is and ran it hard, ok it won't hole a piston, just melt the upper ringland for the top ring. That's the reason why I asked if had done the re-jetting. Like always, it’s hard to make a call with only one tenth of the information needed.
