Post Horsepower

Fellow Porsche Owners,

Like me, many of you look for ways of adding additional HP for as little money as possible.
The following link is to Mark Kibort's website. He sells an electronic supercharger which seems to be of great bang for the buck value for 911's. The reason I am posting this is because although Mark own's and races 928's his product has limited effect on 5.0L engines and above, but seems to be ideal for 911's and 944's. Just sharing some knowledge.

Sincerely

You may want to search the 911 email list for information on this. There was quite some discussion, ohhhh, about a year, maybe two, ago.

Of course it's a piece of crap, intended for the lintheaded ricer crowd.

And the dyno charts? So easily faked, it'd make W.C. Fields embarrased.

Fools and their money.....

FWIW this guy got laughed off the M3 (BMW) list I frequented a few years back...the gearheads there just tore his ridiculous claims apart...I see he's still at it though!

Hook a hairdryer up to the airbox. It has the same affect for a lot less money. Bill is correct, this got blown off the 911 list back in April/May 1999. Along with the guy selling 959 parts,
