Looking for more HP in a simple way and a reasonable cost to upgrade the power of the engine of my '96 993/C2/Cabrio?

I guess now we have like 282HP? Can we reach like 300-320 HP? <img border="0" alt="[burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />

Also check out some of the previous threads on the TPC Supercharger that a few of the guys decided to do...

or you may want to investigate the Techart supercharger kit (if they are still produced)...we are talking about the Power Kit TA093/3.1 for post 96 cars which brings the car from 285bhp to 462bhp and well over 540nm of torque per their catalogue....what I like about this kit is that it also provides an additional intercooler (needs wing) which keeps the car a bit more healthy in hot weather....

The cheapest way to reach 300 - 320 hp is to sell the 993 and buy a 996--'prolly be a straight swap!
