Default Porsche 944 USA EEUU y Europe hp

Why does the Porsche 944 USA EEUU have 150 hp and the European version have 163 hp?
Where could I increase my 944 horsepower 13 hp? Thanks

As you can see from the attached jpg, the primary difference is the compression ratio. (There is also a different ECU specified for the cars).

If you have a USA car, the cost of upgrading for 13 bhp is expensive. The money is typically better spend on tires, suspension, and track time.

Install high compression pistons and the ECU from a high compression engine.
