    Thanks for having me here in FerrariChat.
    Am racing active with Porsche. 996 GT3 Cup, 997 GT3 Cup and soon also a 964 Cup.
    New here and maybe soon an active member :)

    Some quick questions on the F430 Challenge:

    Engine:
    What are the leak down parameters for a cold reading.
    What percentage is within tolerance, what is medium and what is a no go.
    (With Porsche 0-5% is perfect, 5-10% very ok, 10-15% so so and above rebuild soon)

    What's a healthy compression number ?

    What's the diagnose program called to go into the ECU ?
    Is that for the challenge cars the same as for the road F430 ?

    Does it register the running hours on engine / gearbox ?
    Does it register max revs ? / Can you over-rev an Challenge engine at all ?

    What is a healthy old pressure in idle and what with approximate 6000 rpm

    Gearbox:
    Where to look out for ? Can only check it on a lift going through gears. Any tips ?

    Chassis:
    Any inside tips to look for especially when looking for more serious a damaged chassis ?

    Thanks a lot in advance
