It's not up to me at all unfortunately. I'm just gonna do my best to make their product more taylored to these cars with our typical mods.

Regarding price, $3500-4000 will get me 50-100HP supercharged, I think thats the range Andy's units are in with all the necessary mods. $500-650 will get me 50- 125HP with nitrous, and it may cost longevity. So if Stage II chips yield an extra 20-30HP to the 30 already provided, that will put me in the current Corvett's range for $350-450, it' s justifiable. 
There's something zen-like about trying to max out a normally aspirated engine, its optimizing the "stock" components. My thought is that the mechanical aspect has been "maxed out" and the limiting factor in a "stock" 928 engine is the '70/'80's programming. Be real,for the US street, if Porsche still had this line-up, they'd be doing this and reconfiguring the airflow. I'm in with my '85. Mark, when you are planning to dyno your car, let me know, and I'll try to fly over and help take notes, eat pizza and I'll even buy the Lone Star beer. 
Thanks Ed M
