20-30 RWHP + similar increase in torque.

No need for discussion, just buy, build or steal one.

doesn't it allow for clutch changes without the need to drop the center section as well?

Yes, but not that is important on the 5 speed cars. More significantly it takes 5 mins to check the flex plate on the far more superior and faster auto's 8>)

The Motorsport unit, sold by Dave Lomas and Roger 928s-r-us , was developed by Louie Ott originally then further refined by Dr. Gas (via Motorsport) and is the one most of us are using. Devek made one but I don't know if they are still available. Lastly 928 Specialists made one but it also has been hard to get your hands on. All show significant power and torque increases but the Motorsport unit is the only one readially available.

Done worry about it Myles, Chuck wouldn't recognise BWAAAAAA if it ran over him. He's had a 300 HP euro engine sitting in his garage collecting dust during the entire time his 79 wasn't running until Roger fixed it for him.
