Sounds like you have some options.

BTW, I see the costly Rolex; where is your 928 watch?

When sticking to watches I like to buy from specialist's in watches ie Rolex Watches and stick with Porsche for Sportscars other than Cayenne, Panamera etc.

Naww, these guys commisioned a 928 watch, not Porsche. Nothing against the Rolex.


The stroker with the special headers from Precision, now that's a special machine!

Nitrous, Turbo's, supercharger, all very nice. But the stroker, that's my dream engine. And the builder is the best on earth.

Rob Edwards, if you search his posts, has a lot to say about them. He's a west coast customer of Precision.

I will have to agree with Landseer even though I bought a supercharger today. Stroker is THE way to go for stock look and great power. That $40k engine is well worth it, just not in my budget right now.....

Stroker exceeds my budget, I dont want a Superfast car I just want the 928 to feel faster on the pickup and have pace with todays cars performance wise.

Get it running to factory spec, and put a "Stage 1" blower on it....good to go.
And fun too.

In terms of pure bang for the buck, I agree with Tuomo's take on things. If you're starting with a well maintained S4, it's hard to beat a Murf Stage 3 for hp/$. And I am looking forward to a ride in one of the TT beasts, someday.

But ask Hans about his ride in my stroker at SF11.

We need to get a couple of S/C cars, a couple of Turbo cars, and a couple of strokers in the same place. That would be fun. Need to get off my butt and get to one of the national GTG's......

That's what it will do and that was my intent exactly. My Rotrex unit also makes it sound and feel exactly like stock. It is a very quiet unit and you really can't even hear it with the hood open when at idle. Very nice little piece of machinery. As far as the Kuhn setup, very nice and I would love to have one but it is 3x the cost of a SC setup and much more of a hassle to install. The hardware on Victor's Rotrex kit is pretty easy to install for anyone with basic skills.
