Default 5 HP Increase For Type 993

Working on a bolt on piece for Type 993 that will yield a real 5 + HP. If it is to be sold, cost questimate is $500. Should have prototype parts within 3 weeks.

Lee:

If the gadget is released, I'll count you in -- and it will be a DIY install -- even I, who cannot be trusted with tools, could do it.

Best regards.

Can you make it look like a stock part?

I'm asking for a friend who likes power and visual originality.

"As seen on Rennlist ..." that has a certain cachet to it.

$100/hp. That may not be that bad of a ratio for cost per hp gain. If you post the results (dyno graphs, etc.) Alot of people may be interested.

Robert - I've followed your progress with lightweight parts with great interest and respect, but can a 2% increase in power really contribute very much to performance? Please let me know if I'm being too cynical here.

GrantG,
No, I don't think you are. Who notices a 5hp increase?
